 * Hi there
 * I see there is now a Deprecated: Function warning when using PHP 7.2 and setting
   up a backup schedule.
 * >  create_function() is deprecated in wp-content/plugins/wp-db-backup/wp-db-backup.
   > php on line 1197
 *     ```
       $all_tables = array_map(create_function('$a', 'return $a[0];'), $all_tables);
       ```
   
 * Any help on how this function should be coded would be appreciated by many.
 * Kind Regards
    Brad
