RE: [PHP] (g)Zip archiving of local files?

I've never done what you are saaying, but if I would have to, I would then create a file with an exec() (in case there's nothing like that within PHP build-in functions) and would run it from cron automatically.

Hi All, I've seen a couple of references to archiving files using exec() and tar or zip. I am wondering, however, if this is the best/only way to do this. Is this an inherently threaded process, so multiple simultaneous requests won't seriously compromise server performance? What other gotchas should I be aware of? I'm sure that others have researched automatic archiving of files on servers, and I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences.
