Create a ZIP file from a text file using PHP

Question

I have a text file that contains the path to multiple files in the server, 1 file per line, is there a way to read those lines and create a zip from em?

Thanks in advance.

Read the file, read the other files, put them into a zip. Whats the problem? — KingCrunch

PHP has functions for creating zips.

Here is a simple example: http://davidwalsh.name/create-zip-php

You'll need to read the file names, put them into a list, and use the function in the example.

Read the file line by line, add each line to an array, and pass the array in as the files parameter.
