For my recent work i was searching for a PHP class through which i can easily zip any number of files and folder into one single zip file. I search all around the web and finally found it inside the Phpmyadmin.
They are using a really easy Php class through which any one can make a zip file in php.
if you are looking for how to unzip files from a zip file then click here
Without wasting your time i am providing you the code. :)

Here is the code for the zip class
