R: creating ZIP file from mySQL content?

zip support in php is read-only. but keep in mind that zip is not simply a compressed file, is a compressed archive, like .tar.gz or .tar.bz2 you can use zlib for gzip files or bzip2 for bzip2 files... if you need absolutely a zip file format you need to pipe it to a program like the unix program zip, passing the text via stdin. Look at the php manual...
