path/to/final.zip which is this path? i want to install winzip in my system? actually i am using winrar..

edited my answer about the path. no, you don't need to install any third-party software. ZipArchive is PHP's built-in Zip extension. You can use it out of the box in PHP 5.2.0+

zip is creating but whatever files i am selecting in checkbox that files not coming into zipfolder..wat is the problem?

2010-07-02 09:27:23

Note: my code is an example only. These files are selectable via a HTML form? What's the name of your checkboxes?

fabrik 2010-07-02 09:34:42

actually i am getting files in array one by one that name is$file_name //here i will get all the files from where i am selecting checkboxes

fine, and when you stepping through this array with foreach (like in my example) you cannot add actual files to your zip?

fabrik 2010-07-02 09:55:25

i am adding actual files like($file_name as $file)then wat is the solution for adding seleting files in to that zip folder?

2010-07-02 10:03:53

did you checked the files against file_exists()? if files exists you can add them with $zip->addFile($file); like in the example

fabrik 2010-07-02 10:12:53

yes i checking file exisist as like below even its not working$path= "./upload/".$file_name;if(file_exists($path)){foreach($file_name as $file){ $zip->addFile($file_name);}

$file_name is an array? i don't think so.

fabrik 2010-07-02 10:32:40

yes $file_name is an array

2010-07-03 07:10:31

You can't concatenate a string and an array here: $path= "./upload/".$file_name; so $path cannot exists here: if(file_exists($path)) { ...

// This example creates a ZIP file archive test.zip and add the file /path/to/index.txt. as newname.txt. 
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open('test.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE);
if ($res === TRUE) {
    $zip->addFile('/path/to/index.txt', 'newname.txt');
    $zip->close();
    echo 'ok';
} else {
