You can use the ZipArchive class to create a ZIP file and stream it to the client. Something like:

$files = array('readme.txt', 'test.html', 'image.gif');
$zipname = 'file.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($files as $file) {
  $zip->addFile($file);
}
$zip->close();

and to stream it:

header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);

The second line forces the browser to present a download box to the user and prompts the name filename.zip. The third line is optional but certain (mainly older) browsers have issues in certain cases without the content size being specified.

You are ready to do with php zip lib, and can use zend zip lib too,

<?PHP
// create object
$zip = new ZipArchive();   

// open archive 
if ($zip->open('app-0.09.zip') !== TRUE) {
    die ("Could not open archive");
}

// get number of files in archive
$numFiles = $zip->numFiles;

// iterate over file list
// print details of each file
for ($x=0; $x<$numFiles; $x++) {
    $file = $zip->statIndex($x);
    printf("%s (%d bytes)", $file['name'], $file['size']);
    print "
";    
}

// close archive
$zip->close();
?>

This is a working example of making ZIPs in PHP:

$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip_name = time().".zip"; // Zip name
$zip->open($zip_name,  ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($files as $file) {
  echo $path = "uploadpdf/".$file;
  if(file_exists($path)){
  $zip->addFromString(basename($path),  file_get_contents($path));  
  }
  else{
   echo"file does not exist";
  }
}
$zip->close();

Create a zip file, then download the file, by setting the header, read the zip contents and output the file.
