I was wondering if someone with knowledge of the zipformat could add support for enrypted zipfiles. I think that could greatly improve the use of the current zip module. For example, there was a client a while ago that needed confidental data uploaded and then extracted and parsed. Don't ask me why zip, but that was it anyway. Zip support should be fully supported since it's so common under windows. Or is that a license/patent problem?

I think you could use the actual zip command instead and solve your problem faster. You may also want to try gnupg instead that does both encrypion and compression if you want it all in a single program. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ PHP Reviews - Reviews of PHP books and other products http://www.phpclasses.org/reviews/ Metastorage - Data object relational mapping layer generator http://www.meta-language.net/metastorage.html
