PHP Code:

-- set the name and location of the new zip file
SetZipName = Dialog.FileBrowse(false, "Save File As", _DesktopFolder, "All Files (*.zip)|*.zip|", "", "zip", false, false);
-- check that cancel wasent clicked and that a file name was enterd
if (SetZipName[1] ~= "CANCEL") and (SetZipName ~= nil) then
-- Show the status dialog.
StatusDlg.Show();
-- Add the chosen files to the zip archive.

-- Get the error code of the zip.add action.

-- Hide the status dialog.
StatusDlg.Hide();
-- If it succeeded, display a success message and open the folder. Otherwise display the error message.
if (error == 0) then

-- Open the folder where the zip file was created.
File.ExploreFolder(FullPath.Folder, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
else
