}catch (Exception $e){}

if(empty($backup_folder)){

}
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');
