}catch (Exception $e){}
if(empty($backup_folder)){
$backup_folder="backup/";
}
echo "$dumpfname";
if (file_exists($dumpfname)) {
// zip the dump file
$name=$dbname . "_" . date("Y-m-d");
$zipfname = $backup_folder.$name.".zip";
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if($zip->open($zipfname,ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE))
{
$zip->addFile($dumpfname,$dumpfname);
$zip->close();
}
// read zip file and send it to standard output
if (file_exists($zipfname)) {
header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename='.basename($zipfname));
