Hello there... Im trying to build a super-dooper-final-year-project - yet, i have hit a snag... How to make a serialized byte array from a collection of images in PHP, and then present it to the client as one array for download. The images can be jpg/png Information as to how the client should chop up the array and extract the image data can simply be a tag or sumthing. My use for this would be to send a collection of (for example) thumbnail images in one server request. So when my software client sends a GET request to the PHP, it should return a stream of bytes, composed of serialized image data of all the $images. Will it be possible to add text bytes as well? btw. If this is really simple, and I am missing some wonderfull two-lines-of-code feature that does this, then all I have to say is: I am the noob. I would really appreciate ANY help on this. Thankyou in advance
