Change this line:
$backupdir = 'C:\wampbackup\x.sql';
into:
$backupdir = 'C:\\wampbackup\\x.sql';
You need to escape back-slashes with another \ back-slash. :)

it will be saved in C:\wampbackup\x.sql. Make sure that you have write permission for the folder C:\wampbackup

You should actually post your error message along with your code. But if it is not a copy-paste error, I found your bug: It's on line 4, the closing apostrophe is missing
$db= 'hospital;

As a minor aside, you could skip the entirety of
if ($day < 10) {
$day = "0$day";
}
Later on you're using those values in a sprintf() call, which can do such formatting automatically. Simply change the matching %s with %02d (print a decimal padded to 2 spaces with the 0 character).
