we are running mysql command by php and getting result a file name with "db_backup_2_2_2018.sql"


$result=exec('mysqldump dbname --password=password --user=username --single-transaction >/home/public_html/backup/'.'db_backup_'.date('m_d_y').'.sql',$output);



if you have mysql root acess you can direct run this in command prompt as well

mysqldump dbname --password=password --user=username --single-transaction >/home/public_html/backup/db_backup.sql


hope it work
