I use this way for download multiple files as zip :
$files = array('readme.txt', 'test.html', 'image.gif');
$zipname = 'file.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($files as $file) {
$zip->addFile($file);
}
$zip->close();
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);
But the file file.zip be save on my host . I don't want to save on my host i just wanna download it withou save .
Thank

I'm trying to create a zip archive from some files using PHP.
$zipname = 'path/to/my/dir/' . uniqid('MyZip', true) . '.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($files as $file) {
$dl_file = file_get_contents($file);
$zip->addFromString(basename($file),$dl_file);
}
$zip->close();
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);
unlink($zipname);
It creates an archive just fine in the correct location named something to the extent of: MyZip124153.zip
However, the file my browser downloads is named path-to-my-dirMyZip124153.zip.
I'm not sure how I can prevent it from doing this. I'd prefer to not have this filesystem info embedded in these filenames.
Thank you!
Obviously it is going to put the path inside a file name , as you are using the path string as filename inside the header.
Change your :
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $zipname);
to something like :
$new_file_name = 'myzipfile.zip';
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $new_file_name);
I use the following code to zip the google file, and the zip file is created successful, but after double clicked show error message as screenshot. How to I solve it?
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zipname = time() . ".zip"; // Zip name
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
$files = array('http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/k8tmo5m0KZLJbZjLiSMHjefsjJXfQSS_r6julCj8LCW-OsOFf715YOlWvHE9Xze4Rm2gxsWhl9OCLLHsXyluyDFz4n1xRQHOijS3iOs',

foreach ($files as $file) {
$zip->addFromString(basename($file), file_get_contents($file));
}
$zip->close();
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=' . $zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);
I have an array of links to mp3 files. I need to have all of the mp3s downloaded from a server and then zipped.
This code below is not working:
Any suggestions?
$audio_flies = array('http://example.com/1.mp3','http://example.com/2.mp3');
$zipname = 'file.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($audio_files as $file) {
echo "$file";
$zip->addFile($file);
}
$zip->close();
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
You first need to download those files and store them locally on your server. Once that is done you will be able to zip them and make the zip file available for download.
The most basic way of achieving this is by using PHP's file_get_contents(), file_put_contents() and parse_url().
This code has not been thoroughly tested.
// Fixed the name of the array
$audio_files = array('http://example.com/1.mp3', 'http://example.com/2.mp3');
// You need to change this to
// a path where you want to store your
// audio files (Absolute path is best)
$local_path = '/local/path/here/';
$zipname = 'file.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
// Download the files
// Not an elegant way to
// download files
foreach ($audio_files as $file) {
// First let's get the file name
// by parsing the URL
// and trimming the '/'
$file_name = ltrim(parse_url($file, PHP_URL_PATH), '\/');
// Download the file
$a_contents = file_get_contents($file);
// Place the downloaded content
// in the defined local path
file_put_contents($local_path . $file_name, $a_contents);
// Add the file to archive
$zip->addFile($local_path . $file_name);
}
$zip->close();
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);
This is a very bad way to achieve your task for the following reasons (among many others):
There is no timeout for the download process
If a file fails to download it will halt the execution
It may take a very long time (depending on the size of the audio files) to serve the zip file
There is no proper error / exception handler
Many other reasons regarding structure that I'm not gonna go through here.
try the following: use parse_url to get the actual filename, use file_get_contents and file_put_contents to download and save the data locally...
$audio_flies = array('http://example.com/1.mp3','http://example.com/2.mp3');
$zipname = 'file.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($audio_files as $file) {
echo "$file";
$parsed = parse_url($file);
$localfile = "." . $parsed["path"];
$mp3 = get_file_contents($file);
file_file_contents($localfile, $mp3);
$zip->addFile($localfile);
}
$zip->close();
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);
On my site I want to have a link that can zip a particular folder including its content then allow the user to download it. It will be use for downloading a bundled files.
try this code:
$files[] = base_url().'uploads/'.$names->file_name;
pass your files into this $files[] array.
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$tmp_file = tempnam('.','');
$zip->open($tmp_file, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach($files as $file)
{ //echo $file; exit;
$download_file = file_get_contents($file);
$zip->addFromString(basename($file),$download_file);
}
$zip->close();
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=project_files.zip');
header('Content-type: application/zip');
readfile($tmp_file);
I use this code to create ZIP file from PHP
ZIP is correctly created, but I have a little trouble when download zip.
On browser, ZIP name appear like this
.._.._storage_temp_2013-09-03-1378245354.zip
I'm like to mantain only
2013-09-03-1378245354.zip
Here code I use:
$files = array($frente, $verso);
//$zipname = '../../storage/file.zip';
$zipname = "../../storage/temp/".date('Y-m-d')."-".time().".zip"; // Zip name
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($files as $file) {
$new_filename = substr($file,strrpos($file,'/') + 1);
$zip->addFile($file,$new_filename);
//$zip->addFromString(basename($file), file_get_contents($file));
}
$zip->close();
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
ob_clean();
flush();
readfile($zipname)
I have solved in this way:
$new_zipname = substr($zipname,strrpos($zipname,'/') + 1);
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$new_zipname);
