一般情况下当出现大量数据传输，希望减少服务器的带宽压力时，我们会采取一种方式来压缩文件传输，php中用zlib就可以实现gzip压缩输出；以下是一个使用zLib扩展实现的非常简单、方便的PHP压缩文件生成类。

<?php
$zipfiles =array("/root/codetc/test1.txt","/root/codetc/test2.txt");
$z = new PHPZip();
$zipfile = "/root/codetc/codetc_zip.zip";
$z->Zip($zipfiles, $zipfile);
?>

            }
            if ((!empty($dir))&&(!is_array($dir))&&(file_exists($dir))) chdir($dir);
            else chdir($curdir);
            if (count($filelist)>0)
