PHP Use zLib to Compress Multiple Files - php

Question

$files = array("images/1.jpg", "images/2.jpg", "images/3.jpg");
foreach($files as $file){
$temp = null;
$fp_in = fopen($file,'rb');
while(!feof($fp_in)){
$temp .= fread($fp_in,1024);
}
$output[$file] = $temp;
fclose($fp_in);
}
$output = implode('"',$output);
$zp = gzopen( 'sequences/backup.gz', "w9" );
gzwrite( $zp, $output );
gzclose( $zp );
The code above works but only one file is added to the archive. What is the best way to add multiple files to a archive using zLib?

Answer 1

require 'Tar.php';
$tar_object = new Archive_Tar("tarname.tar");
$tar_object->setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_PRINT); // Optional error handling
$v_list = array("images/1.jpg", "images/2.jpg", "images/3.jpg");
$tar_object->createModify($v_list, "install");
function compress( $srcFileName, $dstFileName ){
// getting file content
$fp = fopen( $srcFileName, "r" );
$data = fread ( $fp, filesize( $srcFileName ) );
fclose( $fp );
// writing compressed file
$zp = gzopen( $dstFileName, "w9" );
gzwrite( $zp, $data );
gzclose( $zp );
echo 'success';
}
compress("tarname.tar","tarname.tar.gz");
unlink('tarname.tar');
Here is the updated code, with the help of Tim, thanks!
