emailing attachments

[watts]

Still working on the lightbox for my stock photo site. I want the user to be able to email the images in their lightbox (stored in an array in a session) to themselves as a zipped folder of images. Obviously the images themselves are not in the db so I need to pull the image files using the the file paths in the db, put them in a zipped folder and send them as an attachment to the user. Does anyone have any idea how to do this? I've tried googling it but I can't find anything that fits the bill.

Thanks

I use 'phpmailer' for most of the e-mail stuff. It's free and really simple to use. Check http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ for more info.

There are a lot of classes for creating zip files. The Zend site offers all sorts of code snippets you can use. Check this one http://www.zend.com/codex.php?id=696&single=1 .

You can also try http://www.phpclasses.org/ . Just make sure you look through the code before you use a class from phpclasses.
