RE: [PHP] php

try using this syntax: 'tar cvzf name.tgz directory/' here's a breakdown of the syntax tar c = create new archive v = verbose (lists all files added as they are added) z = filter thru gzip f = filename of archive tar by itself does not compress archives. you have to either specify the "z" or filter the .tar file thru a compressing program. if you have Winzip, you're set... winzip understands tar/gz files and opens them just like they're regular zip files. > -----Original Message----- > From: Eduardo Kokubo [mailto:kokubo@inf.univali.br] > Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2001 2:35 PM > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Cc: Eduardo Kokubo > Subject: [PHP] php > > > I'm still trying to compress an entire directory on a linux server to be > decompressed probably in windows client.
