RE: [PHP] More on "JS alert that links to file"

You really can't send multiple files in a single response, and you certainly can't send multiple headers after data has gone through. Zipping would be a nice approach. Another would be to use AJAX calls to sequenctially download the files.

Have you considered just offering a page of links to each file? You can actually have the links go to a PHP script which can stream the file as a forced download, and the user can then download the files one-by-one by clicking the link as if it were a normal link. Alternatively, you could zip the files up into one archive using PHP and offer stream that file down to the user.
