I was looking for a way to create ZIP files containing images on a linux box and ran into several problems. Now I found a way to manage that, thank to the PHP mailing list :o) Below my example.

Of course, this thing is just made to suite my needs, so you need to alter it to make it work for you.

Cheers!

Chris
