Creating a ZIP from a directories contents?

[brianb]

Hi guys,

I couldn't find this anywhere in the manual. I only came across how to open and read an existing ZIP file.

Say I have a directory on my server full of images. My goal is to create a script that takes everything in this directory, compress it all into a ZIP file, then save the ZIP file to specified location.

Is this possible through PHP?

Any input, links, or coding examples are greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

I did that with a bash shell script. You can call that with php (system) if you like.
