Zip files from URL - behnampmdg3 - 03-08-2015
Hi;
How can I zip a few files from url?
This doesn't seem to be the right approach:
PHP Code:
$data = array(
'https://s3.amazonaws.com/files/templates/ai/Tactify+Card+Template+NFC+-+QR.ai' => 'NFC-QR-ai',
'https://s3.amazonaws.com/files/templates/ai/Tactify+Card+Template+NFC.ai' => 'NGF-ai');
$this->zip->add_data($data);
$this->zip->download('templates.zip');

Anyone?
Is there something wrong with CI's zip library?
I read in a few posts that this is broken

I think you have misunderstood how the add_data function works when using an array. You are trying to use the file key as path, which is incorrect.
- The parameters are ordered as file => contents, first parameters being the file name you want to have in the zip file, and the second parameter being the content to put into that file.
- For the content, the add_data function do not support reading a file. You either have to use the read_file function or read the file yourself by using file_get_contents()
- As far as I'm aware, the zip library do not support reading external urls. The paths has to be to a file on your server. If your server support reading external urls, you should be able to use file_get_contents()
