Code: Select all
<?php
//Get the directory to zip
$filename_no_ext= $_GET['directtozip'];
// we deliver a zip file
header("Content-Type: archive/zip");
// filename for the browser to save the zip file
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename_no_ext".".zip");
// get a tmp name for the .zip
$tmp_zip = tempnam ("tmp", "tempname") . ".zip";
//change directory so the zip file doesnt have a tree structure in it.
chdir('user_uploads/'.$_GET['directtozip']);
// zip the stuff (dir and all in there) into the tmp_zip file
exec('zip '.$tmp_zip.' *');
// calc the length of the zip. it is needed for the progress bar of the browser
$filesize = filesize($tmp_zip);
header("Content-Length: $filesize");
// deliver the zip file
$fp = fopen("$tmp_zip","r");
echo fpassthru($fp);
// clean up the tmp zip file
unlink($tmp_zip);
?>
Then when you want to provide a link to download a users uploads as a zip file, you link to it like,
Code: Select all
<a href="zip_folders.php?directtozip=THE USERS DIRECTORY">Download All As Zip</a>
