[PHP] Zip files: generate text file in archive on the fly

2010-10-17 Thread Dotan Cohen
I need to provide a download of a zip archive containing three files.
This is fairly straightforward in PHP so long as one is working with
files that already exist. However, I need to customise one of the
files (a simple text file) with the user name and other info before
zipping. I see no mention of this in the fine manual, and even
googling has led me nowhere. Ideas? Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks!

Have you considered writing to a temporary file?

You can install Winzip on the machine, then shell out to unzip the file.

Subject: [PHP] ZIp files? Help needed...


Hi people,

I´m looking for alternatives in using zip files. Our users should upload
into our server zipped files and we need to unzip this files and process it.
I have read there is a library that could be used like an extension, but
I´ve tried to use it from NT and don´t seems like the extension was added
and when I try to use the commands PHP says that don´t recognoice the
commands. In the other hand somebody has told me that PHP must be recompiled
for using this library. Our platform is Windows NT but in the future could
be Solaris.

Anybody could send me your experience?
