compress multiple files with Zlib [*RESOLVED*]

[john tindell]

Hey im am trying to compress multiple files using zlib but im not having any luck. I can compress single files but i cant find out how to create a table of contents for the .GZ file.

I read that the files need to be read into an array than imploded by then " character then written to the file. It didnt work?

Here is my code

<?
$files = array(
                "test.jpg",
                "test.png",
                "test.php"
                );
foreach($files as $file){
    $temp = null;
    $fp_in = fopen($file,'rb');
    print "--opening "$file" for reading<br>";
    while(!feof($fp_in)){
        $temp .= fread($fp_in,1024);
    }
    $output[$file] = $temp;
    fclose($fp_in);
    print "--closing "$file"<br>";
}

$output = implode('"',$output);

$fp = gzopen("output.gz","wb");
print "opening "output.gz"<br>";
gzputs($fp,$ouput);
gzclose($fp);
print "closing "output.gz"";
?>

Err -- It may be your spelling of $output on this line:

gzputs($fp,$ouput); 

This is why you should keep notices turned on while developing.

cheers, always fdo have them on but it didnt show up for some reason?

I think im going to scrap that idea and use ZIP files.
