PHP script to compress files into ZIP

This mini application is a PHP script to compress ZIP files that integrates exclusively PHP technologies, CSS, JS and HTML

The process is quite simple, only from the home page you press the select file button, then you choose the corresponding file, and when you have already chosen on the home page you press Upload and Compress, the system will create a zip of name configuroweb.zip that will display all the files found in the compressed folders.

The system after the file compression and generation process will take you to a new page called GenerarZip.php, there will be a link called DOWNLOAD NOW, where you can easily access the ZIP file created, with the files already compressed.

Previous Applications

To install the application on a local server, I recommend the prior installation of the following applications:

XAMPP, Git, Visual Studio Code

XAMPP is the application in charge of implementing a apache server for them to work scripts PHP on a local computer.

Git is the world's most widely used repository manager, with which you can cleanly download code from GitHub.

Visual Studio Code is the world's most popular code editor, which I highly recommend in virtually every post on this blog.

Download GitHub App

The following is the GitHub repository download link for the application that allows you to compress files and generate a ZIP on a local server:
