/*
 *
 * This script will backup your web site by remotely archiving all files on the root FTP directory.
 * It will work even if your web server is memory limited buy splitting zips in several arhive files it they are too many files.
 * All zip files will be stored in a directory called temporary which must be writable.
 *
 * How to use it:
 * - Place the script at the root of your FTP.
 * - Call http://yoursite.com/zip.php
 * - In your FTP client go to temporary folder and download all backup_xxxxxx_x.zip files locally
 * - Unzip everything with this command: for i in *.zip; do unzip $i; done;
 * - Finally to avoid security issues, remove the script from the FTP.

Does not work..

Hello,
your zip.php script works well, thank you very much.

I would have liked to know if it was possible to correct the error obtained during the execution:
Warning: ZipArchive::close(): Read error: Is a directory in /htdocs/zip.php on line 81

In addition, files starting with a dot (ex: .htaccess) are not stored.
Would it be possible to include them in the archive?

Thank you.

@carlo-fontanos :

Try to create a folder named "temporary" to make it work.

Can someone fix the .htaccess problem, or any file with a 'dot' infront of it please?
Also, can someone who has design experience, make an easy to use interface?

Love it!

P.S - you should make a .php script that will unzip any .zip or .rar files uploaded to it when installed on a website.... that's also what I'm looking for if anyone knows of this script please Tweet me @jaycameron (one that also puts together .r1 .r2 .r3 etc etc) is also what I need. I'm aware there are sites online that do this, but I need a script for my own purposes on my server.
