okay, done. didn't seem to make a difference (the file still comes out 0 B, just uncompressed)

test.php output:
Code:
 
# BEGINNING DATABASE BACKUP PORTION:
Checking if sql backup landing directory exists: ./sql_pickup/
Directory to receive database backup exists
 
The Shopping Cart's database backup will be: ./sql_pickup/SQLBackUp_Tuesday
Note: If the main backup is backing up the root directory, you do not need to separately download the database backup.
source of dbackup.sh
Code:
#!/bin/sh

sql_bName=SQLBackUp_$(date +%A)
mysqldump -u jzacsh_jzacsh -p wordpres --single-transaction jzacsh_jzwp  > $PWD/sql_pickup/$sql_bName
actually... just in posting that ^ I realized I haven't checked:
echo $SHELL

...it returned
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell

i'm guessing that means I can't run things properly? (I'm not sure, I obviously had a shell to output a file with and everything... I just wasn't successful in outputting a GOOD file)
