Hi there! I was wondering if anyone here has experience in putting zip files on your websites, for others to download and use? I am setting up a website that is offering a bunch of pdf dokuments and mp3-files, set up as a local web-page in html. Meaning: "open zip file and click on index.html" - thus getting access to the downloaded local "website". But I am having trouble zipping the html-folder. Or rather: some of the PC/Windows users are having trouble unzipping the file. The file unzips and works well on my Mac, - and on my 2 test PC's (Vista and XP). But some users report errors when unzipping. ("Unexpected error." And "There is a problem with the encryption of the folder") .... I should mention that the users are mostly VERY unexperienced computer-people. So it needs to be as simple as possible and with as few choices and options as possible. The users are mostly blond sopranos, and the folder contains singing instructions and instructional mp3's. (Im kidding about the blond part) Does anyone have ideas to how I should compress the folder? Thanks John

I am new to Drupal and am attempting to build a custom module to connect to ftp, download a zip file and unzip the file on the server. The zip file contains two product csv files to update price lists on an ecommerce site. I have gotten it worked out to connect, and download the file. But no matter what code I try I cannot seem to get the files extracted. I can get the code working within a separate php file for testing but once I put it in the php and run from the cron tab it refuses to unzip. I am at a loss as to what to try next. I would really appreciate any pointers I could get! These are some of the things I have tried... the closest I have gotten is to have the first csv file within to create and start but it never finishes and the second file never starts. After changing the code so many times I couldn't even begin to tell you what I had when it was able to get that far. $server_file = 'ItemExport.zip'; $shell = "unzip $server_file"; $shell = escapeshellcmd($shell); exec($shell); $zip = new ZipArchive(); if ($zip->open('ItemExport.zip') === TRUE) { for($i = 0; $i < ($zip->numFiles); $i++) { $filename = $zip->getNameIndex($i); $zip->extractTo('.', array(trim($filename))); } $zip->close(); } else { echo 'failed'; } $zip = zip_open("ItemExport.zip"); if ($zip) { while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) { $fp = fopen(zip_entry_name($zip_entry), "w"); if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry, "r")) { $buf = zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry)); fwrite($fp,"$buf"); zip_entry_close($zip_entry); fclose($fp); } } zip_close($zip); } $zip_entry = 'ItemExport.zip'; $file_name = array('StandardExport.csv', 'AmazonExport.csv'); //get the file's size $fileSize = zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry); for($x = 0; $x<2;$x++) { //open the target file $outFile = fopen($file_name[$x],"wb"); while ($fileSize>0) { //read/write only up to 10kb per step $readSize = min($fileSize,10240); //decrease the size of the remaining data to read $fileSize -= $readSize; //get the data $content = zip_entry_read($zip_entry, $readSize); //write the data (if any) if ($content !== false) fwrite($outFile,$content); } fclose($outFile); }
