Sascha -- ...and then Sascha Braun said... % % Thanks for the quick answer, but is tar scriptable via PHP? You can drive tar, zip, gzip, lharc, arj, bzip2, or just about any other archive program from the command line, and that means you can do it from a php script with a system() call. Note that zip with no compression is just as fast as tar or anything else. Yes, it stores the directory at the end of the archive, but it's a fine way to go and perhaps more recognizable to more surfers out there. % % Schura HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg! msg75359/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

AW: [PHP] Performance of ZLib
Do you know another possibility to store multiple files in one package? - And most users in the web can use it, without getting special programms. I know tar can, but there either I don't know how fast it is. Maybe there is an freeware programm for all plattforms wich can untar, but a i don't know? But if you know?

Have you tried doing a few test runs to see 1) By how much the files are compressed -- jpegs are already compressed and usually compressing again will only shave a few percent off the size. In some cases the file size can actually increase when "compressed". 2) The average time taken to compress a file. > So what about performance?
