zip upload

[jagguy]

q)Can you upload a zip file of images in php  from your HD? Uploading 1 at a time using move-upload is time consuming.

q)To enable zip upoads the manula says you need to add download an add-on which points to 3 different files for windows. What do you need exactly to enable zip uploads?

Uploading a zip file is no different to uploading anything else. What exactly do you want to do?

How to code this because  how can you use  move-upload with many files uzipped?

It isn't obvious to do exactly.

Uploading a zip file means there is just one file.
Are you trying to have the user upload many files, then have PHP zip it?

I just want to upload a zip file of images. Does uploading such a file do this, instead of using 1 image  at a time using move-upload for each one.

If you upload a zip, that is ONE file. If you upload an image, that is ONE file. It does not matter how many files were in the zip, it is now ONE file. Treat it as such.

If you then want to extract the images, you'll probably need some sort of add-on.

I have uncommented the line with zip_dll in extensions in php.ini for php4.4.4.
However this still fails to recoginize zip_open

problem is : zip_open() Cannot open zip archive test1.zip



$zip = zip_open("test1.zip"); //this exists in same dir

if ($zip) {
while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {
echo "Name: " . zip_entry_name($zip_entry) . "\n";
echo "Actual Filesize: " . zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry) . "\n";
echo "Compressed Size: " . zip_entry_compressedsize($zip_entry) . "\n";
echo "Compression Method: " . zip_entry_compressionmethod($zip_entry) . "\n";



}

zip_close($zip);

}
