How to create zip folder in Codeigniter?

You can use the Zip library in Codeigniter to create a zip file.

First, you need to load the Zip library. You can do this by adding the following line to your controller:

1

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

Then, you can use the add_data() method to add data to the zip file. For example:

1

$this->zip->add_data('myfile.txt', 'This is the contents of my file');

You can also add entire directories to the zip file by using the read_dir() method:

1

$this->zip->read_dir('/path/to/directory/');

Finally, you can create the zip file by calling the download() method and passing it the desired name of the zip file:

1

$this->zip->download('myzipfile.zip');

This will create a zip file and prompt the user to download it.
