I have been trying to find an easy to use way to zip an archive on a linux box running PHP5. Now I've tried the zip-lib.php and others, but they always throw an error msg.... But that is not the question. I am looking to use exec("zip archive.zip $directory"); $directory has been tried with both full path and relative path ... but that doesn't work. I don't get an error, it just doesn't create the zip-file... So, after a day of Google-ing and trying, I thought I might ask you for help.
Most likely a permissions problem. Does the PHP user have write access to the place where archive.zip will be created? -Stut
