Download multiple remote images via zip

Question

I need to create a function which creates a zip download consisting of a variant number of remote images which are being displayed on a website. The language on the server is in PHP but have a access to a Azure VM which could act as a controller if necessary. What would be the best approach for this?

Answer 1

You can use PHP to do that just fine. You just need to use Zip. That link is to the main doc page for Zip.

Here's a tutorial on how to use PHP's Zip, and here are some Zip examples on php.net.
