Making zip at run time using php

I want to make zip file when someone uploads an image on my site. I want to make it zip and then store it to the server.

There is a zip library in php you can use that library to make zip at run time.

It will creates a compressed zip file


function create_zip($files = array(),$destination = '',$overwrite = false) {
//if the zip file already exists and overwrite is false, return false
if(file_exists($destination) && !$overwrite) { return false; }
//vars
$valid_files = array();
//if files were passed in...
if(is_array($files)) {
//cycle through each file
foreach($files as $file) {
//make sure the file exists
if(file_exists($file)) {
$valid_files[] = $file;
}
}
}
//if we have good files...
if(count($valid_files)) {
//create the archive
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if($zip->open($destination,$overwrite ? ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE : ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) !== true) {
return false;
}
//add the files
foreach($valid_files as $file) {
$zip->addFile($file,$file);
}
//debug
//echo 'The zip archive contains ',$zip->numFiles,' files with a status of ',$zip->status;

//close the zip -- done!
$zip->close();

//check to make sure the file exists
return file_exists($destination);
}
else
{
return false;
}
}

you should have special library called ziplib to make zip usign php. Check whether your host have installed it on yoru server or not.
