Recently I had to write a script to create a zip file containing different files and folders. PHP has a ZipArchive class which can be used easily to create zip files. In this article we will see how to create zip file after upload file in PHP. You may also like How to create new folder using php and How to check a folder doesn’t already exist using php
HTML Code
<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name='file'>
<input type="submit" name="upload_file">
</form>
</body>
</html>PHP Code
<?php
if(isset($_POST['upload_file']))
{
$uploadfile = $_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"];
$folder = "images/";
$file_name = $_FILES["file"]["name"];
move_uploaded_file($_FILES["file"]["tmp_name"], "$folder" . $_FILES["file"]["name"]);
$zip = new ZipArchive(); // Load zip library
$zip_name = "upload.zip"; // Zip name
if ($zip->open($zip_name, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) !== TRUE) {
echo "Sorry ZIP creation failed at this time";
}
$zip->addFile("images/" . $file_name);
$zip->close();
}
?>
