Ok, I still have a hard time understanding the php documentation. I read though that you can read and unzip .zip files using php (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.zip.php">http://us4.php.net/manual/en/ref.zip.php</a><!-- m -->). My question is, is there any way that you can make a zip file using php? Like add a file to a .zip, and allow the user to d/l it, then delete it? It sounds rather complicated to me, but I would be intersted in learning. Also, what do I need to look for in phpinfo() to see if my server has support for this?

EDIT:
oh yeah...the et al...I'm not real picky as to what form of compression that it uses. Rar/Ace/Zip/Tar.GZ whatever. I just said .zip because I saw it on php.net. Zip would be preferable though, if multiple formats are supported.it is tricky to do but can be done.
since you are just starting out and you got confused at php.net, then I would suggest you get a preconfigured one form hotscripts.com
but not saying you can't do it, so if you try we will be here if you get stuck.
this is the process you need to do.
get the file and put it into a variable. then you need to set the correct headers to make it a zip file.
you would need this zip class (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/21310.html">http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/21310.html</a><!-- m -->)
as that will cut the work down in half.
