Backup mysql database with codeigniter - El Forum - 12-30-2012

I have been looking into the user guide which came with codeigniter. I became very interest with the dbutil(). Particularly the following line of codes:
Code:
// Load the DB utility class
$this->load->dbutil();
// Backup your entire database and assign it to a variable
$backup =& $this->dbutil->backup();
// Load the file helper and write the file to your server
$this->load->helper('file');
write_file('/path/to/mybackup.gz', $backup);
// Load the download helper and send the file to your desktop
$this->load->helper('download');
force_download('mybackup.gz', $backup);Quote:A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: CI_Loader::$dbutil
Filename: views/view.php
Line Number: 10
Fatal error: Call to a member function backup() on a non-object in C:\xampp\htdocs\CodeIgniter\application\views\view.php on line 10
what am i missing here. Any help would be really appreciated

You should not be calling any of that in your view file.
All the dbutil methods should be called in your controller then output what you want to your view.
