http://pear.php.net/package/Archive_Zip and/or
http://pear.php.net/package/File_Archive
and please create a *new* message instead of replying to an existing one
and changing the topic. It screws up message threading (in email clients
and in the archives).
Not in gmail :)
I had same problem lately, wanted also to create zip files from PHP, i
tried various build in functions, but i ended up with the exec way.
It has been said before, but PHP probably doesn't have the right
permissions to write the .zip file, so i would recommend you to write
to /tmp first.
