Write a script that uses the built-in mysqldump program. The man page on mysqldump has details on all the options..you can do just one table, a whole DB, or a whole server. You can even use triggers, and table-locking, too, depending on how you call the program.
So, first step is to write the script to act how you'd like, and easily test it on the command-line. From there, use a PHP system call (system, exec, etc.), to call the shell script, and pass it whatever variables you'd like.
