This is normally how I would do it, but I haven't done so in CI (haven't had the need yet): http://php.net/manual/en/function.tempnam.php

Hey browser,
Sorry but I don't quite understand your post.
Can you be a little more descriptive?

I have a lot of documents in my web. They are in different pages and the user can go adding documents to file .zip . I want that the user download only a file.zip with all the documents selected previosly.

Read up on the documentation here: http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/zip.html
You can use read_file to add the files you need to the zip.

Yes, but i use read_file in other pages and the file.zip is not the same. I want campile all in the same file, but i cannot use a global vars.

So you want users to be able to select files on multiple pages that in the end are combined into one zip file?

I'd think the best would be to collect them in session vars then add them all at once. Otherwise you need to store a temporarily file.zip and add to it as you go along, which is definately a lot more complicated.

Yes.
