From: Jonathan Mills on 22 Sep 2010 05:16 Is it possible to create a ZipArchive to a non-file storage, eg string? I want to create a small zip of some data, and then load it into a database. I don't need the intermediate file. I tried various filters, and I can READ a zip archive with the "data://" wrapper, but haven't found any way of creating the data other than in a file yet. Jonathan

Kind Regards Jonathan

> and what if you serialize your String? You can save Objects in it... True, but the defined format for the item in the database is a zip file (it gets exported later to another, external, application which eats zip files) :-( |
