You don't need to start a session...

You don't need to connect to the mysql server.

You need to send mysqldump the username and password. Syntax is
Mysqldump -uuser -ppassword databasename > filename.sql
> passthru("gzip $backupdir/$nam.sql");
Why are you using passthru? Neither of these commands should return any
output, so passthru isn't returning anything. You can use backticks or
exec() instead.
