Backup MySQL Database

[swguy]

I am getting this error when I try to create a backup

0 => mysqldump: Got error: 1045: "Access denied for user 'anythingframedco_usman'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" when trying to connect

How do i fix it?

This means your database password, as specified in admin/includes/configure.php, has special characters in them. Change it to one without special characters and it will work.

I am receiving the following in error logs after installing Backup MySQL Database plugin v157?
Do you have any idea what is causing the error?

You can probably add this to the bottom of the plugin's language file to stop those warnings:

if (!defined('ICON_FILE_DOWNLOAD')) define('ICON_FILE_DOWNLOAD', 'Download');
if (!defined('IMAGE_RESTORE')) define('IMAGE_RESTORE', 'Restore');
if (!defined('IMAGE_BACKUP')) define('IMAGE_BACKUP', 'Backup');

What is the purpose of these errors and future errors warning?

What is the purpose of these errors and future errors warning?

It's part of PHP's evolution. The PHP authors have been taking steps over the past few years to improve performance. Apparently the undefined-constants' checking at runtime was determined to be a bottle-neck.

Those messages are PHP's notice that an undefined constant was found and, for now, it's going to be interpreted as if the code had placed quotes around the constant name. Future versions of PHP will stop during the parsing step and issue an error if an undefined constant is discovered.
