Web Application help - PHP, APACHE, and Zip by radiowave911 2007-07-10 05:53:38
I am still working on a web-based sniffer appliance, and need a way to allow the user to ziup and download the capture files.

Thus far, I have everything done up to that point - the names of the files are stored in a MySQL database, the location is fixed, and the permissions are set on the files. Now, I need a way to allow a user to download selected files as a zip archive.

The routines to pull the data from the database and put it in a form with checkboxes is not an issue, it's how to handle getting the files zipped and sent to the end user's PC that I am having issues with.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Any ideas where to look? Google has failed me. I have full control over the box, is is an Ubuntu LAMP server, PHP version is 5.0. If any additional information is needed, ask and I will provide what i can.

Responses may be sporadic, I am at work and have other things I have to do, but I will check back periodically for responses.

Thanks!
