Zipping and raring with php

How can i zip or rar a file with php?

Hi rokec,

Take a look on the PHP Classes Repository, they have some pretty useful zip classes there:

[phpclasses.org...]

In case the classes are to much work, you can have PHP call a zip tool installed on your server using for example the exec() [php.net] method:

exec("zip zipfile.zip filetozip.txt");

That should call the zip application on a Linux server - if present.
