Create a file called export.php in the wordpress top directory containing the following (remember to add the PHP tags at the top and bottom):
include 'wp-config.php' ;
include 'wp-admin/includes/export.php' ;
ob_start ( ) ;
export_wp ( ) ;
$file = ob_get_contents ( ) ;
ob_end_clean ( ) ;
$fh = fopen ( "wordpress-" . date ( 'Y-m-d' ) . ".xml" , 'w' ) ;
fwrite ( $fh , $file ) ;
fclose ( $fh ) ;

For example, $mime_type could equal “image/jpeg”…
$file_info = new finfo ( FILEINFO_MIME ) ;
$mime_type = $file_info -> buffer ( file_get_contents ( $file ) ) ;
- or -
$filename = $_SERVER [ 'SCRIPT_FILENAME' ] ; // Could also use REQUEST_URI, PATH_INFO or ORIG_PATH_INFO
$finfo = finfo_open ( FILEINFO_MIME ) ; // return mime type ala mimetype extension
$mime = finfo_file ( $finfo , $filename ) ;
finfo_close ( $finfo ) ;
header ( "Content-type:$mime" ) ;
readfile ( "$filename" ) ;

Since I have completely unloaded FastCGI from Apache since moving to suPHP, I have seen a massive improvement overall. FastCGI is dead as far as I am concerned. Catalyst runs just fine without it. IMHO it is a serious kludge and should not be used. I am sorry I ever laid hands on it to […]

After running my PHP instances in FastCGI for a while, I have not been satisfied with the performance, and have switched over to suPHP instead. The security benefits are there, and the memory footprint much smaller, with no drop in performance. In fact, this has solved some odd delays with the FastCGI implementation. I am […]

EDIT Jan 23, 2017: The FastCGI website is down so the below links no longer work. mod_fcgid is another possibility, and is the official Apache-supported method, but may be less performant that mod_fastcgi: http://httpd.apache.org/mod_fcgid/mod/mod_fcgid.html New write-up to follow when time allows… Thanks to Tara Senn of whoishostingthismail.com for pointing out the broken links to me!
