This tells you everything you need to know about zipping with PHP.

http://us3.php.net/zip

Here is an upload tutorial you may find helpful.

http://www.tizag.com/phpT/fileupload.php

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

but anywho, im getting an error when i try to unzip the folder, it is
0x80004005

any idea why this is?

ahh i c, sorry about that. so what should i do? keep posting here? or there.

anyways....my code

php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
if(isset($_POST['upload'])){
 
$zip_dir = 'packs/zips/';
$license = $_POST['license'];
$title = $_POST['title'];
$title .= '_' . rand(999999,time()) . '.zip';
echo $title;
 
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$pack = fopen($zip_dir.$title,'wb');
fclose($pack);
$zip->open($zip_dir.$title);
$zip->addFile($license, 'newfile.txt');
$zip->close();
}
?>
 
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="" method="post">
<?php if(file_exists('License.txt'))
{
	$combo = '<select name="license">';
	$combo .= '<option value="License.txt">License</option>';

Re: Zip File Help

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 Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
<?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();
?>

Re: Zip files and PHP

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.
