index.php
This consists of HTML and PHP script. With the help of html form we are uploading the multiple files.
<?php // including the upload the zip php script include 'create-zip-file.php'; ?> <html > <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="design.css"> </head> <body> <h3>Upload and create zip file</h3> <form method="post" action="" name="login" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Choose a zip file to upload: <input type="file" name="uploadzip[]" multiple="" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Upload" /> </form> </body>
This script help us to create a zip file and once zip file is created, then it will automatically download the zip file to local machine.
Steps:
1. When user send a upload request for the files, then this script will store all the files inside the "Images" Folder.
2. With the help of ZipArchive class, we are retrieving all the images from the images folder and creating a zip file.
3. Once zip file is created, then this script automatically download the zip file to local machine.
4. Final step where we are deleting a the zip file and all image inside the "Images" folder from the sever location.
<?php
if( isset($_POST['submit']) ) {
$filename = $_FILES['uploadzip']['name'];
$source = $_FILES["uploadzip"]["tmp_name"];
$type = $_FILES["uploadzip"]["type"];
//echo sizeof($filename) ;
//check file is selected for upload
if(isset($_FILES['uploadzip']['name']) != ""){
//First check whether zip extension is enabled or not
if(extension_loaded('zip')) {
//create the directory named as "images"
$folderLocation = "images" ;
if (!file_exists($folderLocation)) {
mkdir($folderLocation, 0777, true);
}
$zip_name = time().".zip"; // Zip file name
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open($zip_name, ZipArchive::CREATE) == TRUE){
foreach($_FILES["uploadzip"]["tmp_name"] as $key=>$tmp_name){
$temp = $_FILES["uploadzip"]["tmp_name"][$key];
$actualfile = $_FILES["uploadzip"]["name"][$key];
// moving image files to temporary locati0n that is "images/"
move_uploaded_file($temp, $folderLocation."/".$actualfile);
// adding image file to zip
$zip->addFile($folderLocation."/".$actualfile, $actualfile );
}
// All files are added, so close the zip file.
$zip->close();
}
}
// push to download the zip
header('Content-type: application/zip');
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="skptricks.zip"');
readfile($zip_name);
// remove zip file is exists in temp path
unlink($zip_name);
//remove image directory once zip file created
removedir($folderLocation);
}
}
// user defined function to remove directory with their content
function removedir($dir) {
if (is_dir($dir)) {
$objects = scandir($dir);
foreach ($objects as $object) {
if ($object != "." && $object != "..") {
if (filetype($dir."/".$object) == "dir")
rrmdir($dir."/".$object);
else unlink ($dir."/".$object);
}
}
reset($objects);
rmdir($dir);
}
}
?>
