<?php
/**
 * This script enables you to copy the structure and content of databases back and
 * forth between remote and local databases. Remote databases are accessed through 
 * SSH tunnels.
 * 
 * This script operates in two modes. The mode is passed in the first parameter
 * -- put: Copy a local database to a remote server
 * -- get: Copy a remote database to a local server
 * 
 * When using a config.ini file to specify your database credentials the format is:
 * 
 * [remote]
 * ssh      = user@server.com
 * username = remoteDbUsername
 * password = remoteDbPassword
 * database = remoteDbName
 * 
 * [local]
 * username = localDbUsername
 * password = localDbPassword
 * database = localDbName
 * 
 * 
 * Example usage: Replace your local database with a remote database
 * dbsync.php get
 * 
 * Example usage: Replace a remote database with your local database
 * dbsync.php put
 * 
 * Example usage using extrenal config file: Replace a remote database with your local database
 * dbsync.php put path/to/config.ini
