Re: push data directlly to the client(was Creating zip files)

Hi, Thank you for your answer. Now i figured out how to build the zip archive. I am using a class that returns the compressed data: $zipedresult = $zipfile->zipped_file(); This data, i can write it to a file. but i would like to make it downloadable without having to store it in the server. Is that possible?
