Creating .ZIP archives using PHP can be just as simple as creating them on your desktop. PHP's ZIP class provides all the functionality you need! To make the process a bit faster for you, I've coded a simple create_zip function for you to use on your projects.
Creating .ZIP archives using PHP can be just as simple as creating them on your desktop. PHP's ZIP class provides all the functionality you need! To make the process a bit faster for you, I've coded a simple create_zip function for you to use on your projects.
Example :
Step-1
Create a directory of name files include two image files
files ->flowers.jpg, fun.jpg
Step-2
test.php
<?php
$error = ""; //error holder
if(isset($_POST['createpdf'])){
$post = $_POST;
$file_folder = "files/"; // folder to load files
if(extension_loaded('zip')){ // Checking ZIP extension is available
if(isset($post['files']) and count($post['files']) > 0){ // Checking files are selected
$zip = new ZipArchive(); // Load zip library
$zip_name = time().".zip"; // Zip name
if($zip->open($zip_name, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE){ // Opening zip file to load files
$error .= "* Sorry ZIP creation failed at this time<br/>";
}
foreach($post['files'] as $file){
$zip->addFile($file_folder.$file); // Adding files into zip
}
$zip->close();
/*if(file_exists($zip_name)){
// push to download the zip
header('Content-type: application/zip');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$zip_name.'"');
readfile($zip_name);
// remove zip file is exists in temp path
unlink($zip_name);
}*/
}else
$error .= "* Please select file to zip <br/>";
}else
$error .= "* You dont have ZIP extension<br/>";
}
