How to compress files in codeigniter?

I have a form which sends 2 images to my controller 

 <form action="generate" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="image1" size="20" /> 
    <input type="file" name="image2" size="20" /> 
    <input type="submit" class="btn btn-success" value="upload" />
</form>

Now in my controller i want to compress image1 and image2 to zip format and save it in a folder. I also see this documentation but i don't know how to add 2 images in one file .

Any ideas?Thanks in advance.

Codeigniter has a library meant for helping with zip utilities:

You can load it like this:

$this->load->library('zip');

Then the class object can be accessed as:

$this->zip

For zipping a file, you can do this:

$path1 = '/path/to/photo1.jpg';  
$path2 = '/path/to/photo2.jpg';    
$this->zip->read_file($path1); 
$this->zip->read_file($path2); 
$this->zip->archive('/path/to/folder/my_images.zip');

You can read more at CodeIgniter's Zip Library Documentation
