the phpMyAdmin program has a great zip class in php. Get it here from the CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/checkout/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin/libraries/zip.lib.php?content-type=text%2Fplain&rev=2.1

is it possible that pkzip and zlip are having compatibilty problems.

is this possible.

its stratng that winzip can open it but not pkzip.

cheers aron.

Thanx drew

below is how i my existing script how do i change it to work with the one you gave me.

  include_once('../pclzip.lib.php');
  $archive = new PclZip("xml_files/domian_$tday_xml.zip");
  $v_list = $archive->create("xml_files/domian_$tday_xml.xml,$sql_2", PCLZIP_OPT_REMOVE_PATH, '../img/property/');
  if ($v_list == 0) {
    die("Error : ".$archive->errorInfo(true));
  }

cheers aron.

include("./zip.lib.php");
$zip = new zipfile();
$zip->addFile(file_get_contents("xml_files/domian_$tday_xml.xml"), "domain_$tday_xml.xml");

$fp = fopen("xml_files/domain_$tday_xml.zip", "w+");
fputs($fp, $zip->file());
fclose($fp);

i think something along those lines should work, depending on what your files are, i just took a guess.

hmm dosent work.

i tried your original code that didnt work so i changed it to this but it still dosent work.

althoe no errors come up. it just dosent creat the .zip file.

include('../zip.lib.php'); 
$zip = new zipfile(); 
$zip->addFile("xml_files/domian_$tday_xml.xml"); 

$fp = @fopen(file_get_contents("xml_files/domain_$tday_xml.zip"), 'w'); 
fputs($fp, $zip->file()); 
fclose($fp);

anyother suggestions.

cheers aron.

yeah i guess you saw the post before the edit. i accidentally put the file_get_contents in the wrong place cause i added it afterwards. here's an example file i wrote that i tested and it opens in a few zip programs.

<?php

include("./zip.lib.php");

$zip = new zipfile();

$zip->addFile(file_get_contents("../bomber2.php"), "bomber2.php");
$zip->addFile(file_get_contents("../test.php"), "test.php");
$zip->addFile(file_get_contents("../top.php"), "toplist/top.php");

$fp = fopen("./zip.out.zip", "w+");
fputs($fp, $zip->file());
fclose($fp);

?>

zip results in 3 files, 2 in the root dir and 1 in the toplist dir.
