> but how does the server zip the package up, To create zip archives you can use exec() (and friends) to call a command-line zip archive creating program. If you don't have access to one and for some reason are unable to install one then I believe that there is a pure PHP class (does not rely on external programs) which allows you to work with zip archives. > email the package to the visitor and reset the values for the next user? Make sure that the files that you create are uniquely named (uniq()) then you don't need to worry about how to "reset the values". -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * ------------------------------------------ Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general ------------------------------------------ /* */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
