$backupFile"; system($command); ?>

okay im trying to write a page that restores a backed up mysql file

it supposed to have a browse box that looks for the file and a button that does the restore. but im new to php and i cant figure it out

Heres a copy of my script maybe someone can figure out what im doing wrong
i’ve edited it so you only see the stuff ya need

<CENTER>
<FORM METHOD=post>
<INPUT type=”file” name=”filename”>
</FORM>
</CENTER>
<CENTER>
<FORM METHOD=post ACTION=”$command”>
<INPUT type=”submit” value=”Restore”>
</FORM>
</CENTER>

<?
$backupFile = $post[‘filename’];
$command = “mysql -user -password database | gzip > $backupFile”;
?>

</HTML>

thanks i hope someone figures it out
