Create ZIP class for MAC and PC

[optik]

Does anyone know of a class or function that will create a zip file from a list of files or folders that works on PC and MAC.

I have found one but it only works on PC.

I'm not for sure if mac is compatible with zip because I'm not a mac guy. However you could tar the file because I'm pretty sure the mac os is unix based. Don't quote me on that though.

this seems like a good answer

In order to read and write ZIP files with PHP, your PHP build must include support for ext/zip. On UNIX, this is accomplished by adding the --enable-zip option to the configure script when building PHP. On Windows, a pre-built DLL named php_zip.dll is included with the Windows PHP distribution, and must be activated in the Windows php.ini configuration file. Read more about this at [php.net...]

Some how I has missed the Zip Archive page on php.net, the in built class works fine on mac and pc.

I didn't know macs could read zip files. Thanks for the input.
