php zip function

[paulmann]

I need to use a zip function on a web site hosting hosted on a linux server and I don't know much about linux. Honestly, I have been googling and reading but can't make sense of it!

My home system is windows and all I had to do was type "extension = php_zip.dll" into the php.ini configuration file. The test page I created then ran exactly as planned when opened in the browser, and I was able to download the new zip file that had been created.

Will it be easy to configure on the linux server (Puma). Or do I need to install some special software? Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm recompiling php on the server. You should be able to use zip function within next 1 hour in your php scripts.

What would be the best way to zip a folder?

Does cPanel file manager have the option?
