Here is an upload tutorial you may find helpful.

You'll have to create a file specific to the user, then add the two files, and finally send it to zip.

Good luck!

ok so to do a zip file through php. correct me if im wrong.

i use fopen to create a zip archive
fclose to close it
then use the ziparchive class to open it again
then use the addfile function to add a file to the archive.
then use close

Wouldn't it be a good idea to re-use your previous thread which is still on the front page.

And if you post your code then people may be able to point out where you are going wrong.

Although, this is the example given by php.net:

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$filename = "./test112.zip";
 
if ($zip->open($filename, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE) {
    exit("cannot open <$filename>\n");
}
 
$zip->addFromString("testfilephp.txt" . time(), "#1 This is a test string added as testfilephp.txt.\n");
$zip->addFromString("testfilephp2.txt" . time(), "#2 This is a test string added as testfilephp2.txt.\n");
$zip->addFile($thisdir . "/too.php","/testfromfile.php");
echo "numfiles: " . $zip->numFiles . "\n";
echo "status:" . $zip->status . "\n";
$zip->close();
?>
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$filename = "./test112.zip";

if ($zip->open($filename, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE) {
    exit("cannot open <$filename>\n");
}

$zip->addFromString("testfilephp.txt" . time(), "#1 This is a test string added as testfilephp.txt.\n");
$zip->addFromString("testfilephp2.txt" . time(), "#2 This is a test string added as testfilephp2.txt.\n");
$zip->addFile($thisdir . "/too.php","/testfromfile.php");
echo "numfiles: " . $zip->numFiles . "\n";
echo "status:" . $zip->status . "\n";
$zip->close();
?>

AJAX is not a programming language, scripting language or any other sort of language.
It is acheived by using JavaScript http functions.
So, AJAX = JavaScript.

Ok, my apologies, I tried to merge these two threads and it came out a bit of a mess. Hopefully something relevant can still be salvaged.
