Zip Encoding download problem

[eluser]meigwilym[/eluser]
I can't get the read_dir() method to work. The zip file downloads, but is empty.

The files being downloaded are ones that have been uploaded by the user. I have tried different configurations af permissions (777, 664). The directories to be zipped are owned by apache and are 777. I have root access to the server, and is_dir() returns true on the path.

Here's my code:

Code:

$this->load->library('zip');

        $proj = $this->project_mod->get($proj_id);
        
        $dir = FCPATH.'projectfiles/project-'.$proj->id.'/';

        $this->zip->read_dir($dir);

        $this->zip->download('zip_download_all');

I've searched the forums and google and can't find anything (in fact, the dearth of zip encoding class problems seems to imply that it works all the time!)

Cheers,

Mei

Try running code below and see if gets you anywhere. If it fails, then it must be something server related, I suggest opening up Zip.php and start debugging.

Code:

$this->load->library('zip');
$this->zip->read_dir(APPPATH);
$this->zip->download();
