Description of my issue:
Software bug info.
While starting backup via cronjob I receive the following warning by email:
mysqli_set_charset() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, string given in /www/htdocs/w00f5b94/administrator/components/com_akeeba/akeeba/drivers/mysqli.php on line 349
Line 349 of mysqli.php says:
return mysqli_set_charset('utf8', $this->connection);
A short internet research led to: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli.set-charset.php
Therefore the two parameters have to be exchanged:
return mysqli_set_charset($this->connection, 'utf8');
After changing the code accordingly, the warning vanished.
Kind regards from Germany
