PHP zipping algorithm
How can we zip two files and save output as output.zip. For example, in gmail you can download all the attachment as a single zip file. How can we write that code using php.

/**

/**
* creating zip file..if success do something else do something...
* if Error in file creation ..it is either due to permission problem (Solution: give 777 to that folder)
* Or Corruption of File Problem..
*/
if ($obj->create($files)) {
// echo 'Created successfully!';
} else {
//echo 'Error in file creation';
}
?>; // We'll be outputting a ZIP
header('Content-type: application/zip');
// It will be called test.zip
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="test.zip"');
//read a file and send
readfile('test.zip');
?>;
//This will output test.zip to the browser. If you dont want zip file as output (just saving into directory) leave the second part of above code
