networkthis Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 Does anyone have any suggestion for a great way to zip files. I would like to just simply take all the files in my folder and simply add them to a zip file for download. Thanks in advance.....

marklarah Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Right click --> Make archive (if mac) Right click --> compress/make zip file (if other) or just do it in winzip. But how is this php?

networkthis Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Maybe I should rephrase this......... I am trying to do a simultaneous download ---not upload(I already have that part written-since everyone always gets this part confused) ---- I am wanting to take the files that are selected from the user in a checkbox and add all of those files into a zip file for them to save on their computer. The only problem is I have no clue how to create zip files in php. I have read through a few tutorials on the net. I have seen that some recommend the use of libraries and so forth. I am wanting suggestions for the best way to create a zip file with php. Maybe some advice from those who know how this works. I can take the selected files and manipulate them however I need to---that is the easy part....I am just stuck on the zipping of the files. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
