Re: [PHP] ZipArchive, but without files
and what if you serialize your String? You can save Objects in it... True, but the defined format for the item in the database is a zip file (it gets exported later to another, external, application which eats zip files) :-( -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

I'm assuming you're on a Linux server for this: zip -r - directory_path | cat topipe Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk

Hello. As I understand you in a right way you need next function http://ua.php.net/manual/en/function.gzcompress.php On Wed, Sep 22, 2010 at 10:16:30AM +0100, Jonathan Mills jonathan.n.mi...@gmail.com wrote: Is it possible to create a ZipArchive to a non-file storage, eg string? I want to create a small zip of some data, and then load it into a database. I don't need the intermediate file. I tried various filters, and I can READ a zip archive with the data:// wrapper, but haven't found any way of creating the data other than in a file yet.
