the command is mysqldump with trillions of parameters to backup a db into a file... something in the ways of:
$cmd="mysqldump -h $host --user=$user --password=\"$pass\" --opt $database > $backup_file"; I'm gettting error return 2... which (according to 'man errno') means EACCESS or 'Permission denied'. How can something be denied in Win98 since it doesn't handle permissions, users and stuff?
