Re: running php in sequence

I'd recommend that you build a set of functions (or a class) to do your bits and pieces, rather than include blocks of code. That way you can ZIP depending on the outcome of your CHECKOUT code. function checkoutStuff() { //if checkout code executes ok return true; } if(checkoutStuff()) { zipStuff(); } By all means stick those functions in a file and include them at the beginnign of your script.
