I am interested in input towards a function that would pack files in a web directory to a zip file, upon user request.

Let me try to describe it step by step.

- a php zip function (?)
- that upon user input zips files in a defined directory
- and preps a download link for user to click on and download those files
- delete zip package, either after download or at a given time, or by scanning a directory for changes in files (possible?)

The reason I would need this is for theme files. Currently working a lot on different themes, yet according to licensing they must be available for download, and frankly I find it a tad tedious to manually prep a new zip for every codechange, so why not try to automate the process? Someone pops in and want the theme files for current default theme, clicks a button "Prep current fileset in the theme directory for download" wait wait wait, present a download link.

Good idea?
Security concerns?

Sounds good Domi. Many things are and will be possible for fusion. Glad I can contribute back to the community that's responsible for my web dev interests :G. I will make time for this, as others have made similar sacrifices.
