Thank you all. It now works fine!
I used the way with the add-on for winzip to make it command line able.
There is indeed a command line tool.
First it did not want to work at all until I found out, that the trial
version of winzip wants the user to press a key (in the command line) to
proceed - which I was unable to emulate within php.
Luckily I have a registered version of winzip with which this works absolute
perfectly.
Here a short snippet:
$result = @exec("$winzip$zip_options $pathToArchive\\archive.zip
@$pathToPacklist\\packlist.txt);
Where
$winzip contains the path to the folder of winzip + wzzip (example: $winzip
= 'c:\\program files\\winzip\\wzzip';)
$options contains switches for winzip (I used: $zip_options =' -ybc -es';
#-ybc: no interactive interface/all questions are answered with 'yes'; -es:
fastest packaging since jpeg can't be packed better)
$pathToArchive contains the path to the new file which winzip should create
(example: $pathToArchive = 'C:\\')
$pathToPacklist contains the path to the folder where the file packlist.txt
is, which itself contains a return delimited list of all files to add to the
zip (whole filepath is necessary)
If someone is interested in that, I can give some additional info's
Thank you all for your help!
