 Save Bandwidth by Zipping Files That Users Need to Download
 To save bandwidth, it's a fairly common practice to compress or 'ZIP' files before you download them. That's not something I've ever done, and I wouldn't know how to go about it. On the other hand, CI has a nice facility that allows you to produce zipped files with four lines of code:
 $name = 'mydata1.txt';
 $data = 'the contents of my file…………';
 $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
 $this->zip->archive('c:/my_backup.zip');
 Run this, and you find a ZIP archive on your C drive containing one file. Your ZIP filer reader will unzip it and produce the original data for you.
 People who use your site won't know that you've produced this impressive result so easily. They'll be impressed! Your site will save bandwidth. You did it in minutes rather than hours.
