generate and download zip
<p>im using PHP to generate and force download a ZIP file that contains a sequence of photos listed from a database table.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?php
include("config.php");
require ("zipfile.inc.php");
$zipfile = new zipfile();
$filedata = implode("", file("zipfile.inc.php"));

$getspdi = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `wedding_photos` WHERE `user_hash` = '$_GET[id]' ORDER BY `id` DESC LIMIT 0, 1000") or die(mysql_error());
$getspd = mysql_fetch_array($getspdi);

while ($photos = mysql_fetch_array($getspdi)) {
$zipfile-&gt;add_file(file_get_contents(/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs-entertainment$photos[img]), "&amp;photos[img]");
echo("/var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs-entertainment/ &lt;br /&gt;");
}

header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=spd_$_GET[title]_$_GET[fname]_$_GET[lname]__$_GET[photos]_Photos.zip");
echo $zipfile-&gt;file();
?&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>however this code just seems to lead me to a blank white page and nothing happens atall.</p>

<p>could anyone give me any ideas?</p>

<p>zipfile.inc.php</p>

<p>thanks for your replies, forgot to mention also that i have no clue when it comes to php and am trying to fix someone elses bit of code.the content of the zipfile.inc.php is as follows.</p>

<pre><code>'code'
&lt;?php  
/* 
Zip file creation class 
makes zip files on the fly... 

use the functions add_dir() and add_file() to build the zip file; 
see example code below 



v1.1 9-20-01 
  - added comments to example 

v1.0 2-5-01 

initial version with: 
  - class appearance 
  - add_file() and file() methods 
  - gzcompress() output hacking
