Auto zip of files possible?

[novialim]

Doing up a system where ppl can download files from the server.
Instead of manually zipping up the files (which will be very painful!!), is there any way to autozip up the intended files?

Sure...it's possible.

I assume you want a real zip file and not an tar.gz or gzip file?

This COULD be done via...

exec

function and the command zip which should be available as a package in your Linux distro.
