Wish I search for this earlier, would have stopped me from a whole days worth of messing around !! thanks for this.

Shouldn't it be?
if ($do_compress) {
$save_string = $config['SAVE_DIR'] .'/'. $config['SAVE_AS'] . date($config['APPEND_DATE_FORMAT']) . '.sql.gz';
$zp = gzopen($save_string, "a9");
} else {
$save_string = $config['SAVE_DIR'] .'/'. $config['SAVE_AS'] . date($config['APPEND_DATE_FORMAT']) . '.sql';
$handle = fopen($save_string, 'a+');
}

otherwise works perfection!
