On my webserver I have a few pages that just show the Directory by using the standard Index Of blah blah. My question is, Is there a way to download a whole folder, rather then opening the folder and downloading each file in it seperately. Perhaps a zip on the fly feature of some sort? Im not to sure.
The server is running on Windows XP SP2, Apache/2.0.55 (Win32) PHP/5.1.2
Any suggestions as to how to do this would be appreciated, thanks,
-Stu |

If the folder content do not change to often you may create a zip file yourself. You can create tar.gz file on the fly with PHP=>PEAR=>TAR But that would take some time. I made some PHP editor myself. It can pack all files from a directority with subfolders. That takes a lot of CPU usage.
Be carefull with the script below. You need to know what you do.
if not download the hole editor. An english descrition is below the webpage.
| Code: |
$pack="C:/apache2/htdocs/downloads";
$format="gz";
$pack_name=$pack.".tar.gz"; //name of archives needs extension of the format
ini_set("max_execution_time",0);
require_once "tar.php";
$tar=new Archive_Tar($pack_name,$format);
$tar->setErrorHandling(PEAR_ERROR_PRINT); //error_handler
if(is_readable($verz)){
$inhalt=opendir($verz);
while($datei = readdir ($inhalt)){
if($datei!="."&&$datei!=".."){
$files[] = $datei;
};
};
closedir($inhalt);
foreach ($files as $value)
{
echo $_lang['packed'].$value."<br />\n";
$tar->add($verz."/".$value);
}
//bug with pack name under Windows for Download
$this_dir=substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],0,strrpos($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],"/")+1);
$cut=$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$package=str_replace("$cut","",$pack_name);
//$package=str_replace("\\","/",$dir);
echo "<br /><a href=\"$package\" target=\"_blank\">Download</a>";
clearstatcache();
}
else
{
echo "That is no folder!";
}

Thanks, I will probably give this a try soon. Is this the only known way to download a whole folder? I would prefer something else, as my server is running off the computer I use every day, and high CPU usage isnt exactly something to look forward to. Thanks for the quick reply though James, and any other help would be useful, thanks,
