Zipping files and forcing download

phpjeff · 11-17-2005, 10:15 AM

I am working on a script that creates .xml files to a temporary directory on the server and then forces the download. Works great with one file but I would like to be able to create two files and--this is where I need some help--zip them into one file so that I can force the download of that one zipped file.

Should I be using gzopen(); and gzwrite();? If so, how do I write multiple files to the one gz file?

Also, does PHP 4.3.11 allow this by default or does it need to be compiled for this support?

Thanks for the help.

i think you need to register to download anything there, .. but that class looks like it may work for you.

There's also another available to extract archives but i forgot the name.

Anyway here's mine to extract zip, tar, gzip and bzip2
