Creating ZIP and TAR archives on the fly with PHP

PHPit has posted this new tutorial on how to create ZIP and TAR archives on the fly with PHP.
The easiest way to offer files for downloading on your website is to simply create the necessary archives (using WinZip or another program) on your own computer, and uploading the archives. But in some cases this isn’t enough, for instance when you want to generate a unique archive for each person who downloads the archive. This means you’ll have to create ZIP and TAR archives on the fly with PHP.
In this tutorial I will show you exactly how to do that. Thankfully there are two excellent libraries in the PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) which makes it a lot easier since all the hard stuff has been written for us already.
You will also learn how to stream these dynamically created archives using the right headers so that the browser will know it’s an archive, and not a normal PHP page.
Let’s start with the most important: creating the archives.

Developing a Discussion Forum in PHP with Recursion

Devshed has posted the third, and last tutorial of their series (Recursion in PHP).
After covering in detail how to define recursive method and functions, the question is: what comes next? Luckily, there’s vast terrain to explore with reference to using recursion in PHP. As I said in previous articles of this series, recursion can be used in cases where a specific tree structure or a linked list needs to be navigated, in order to display, add, delete or edit its values. It’s exactly for that reason that this last article will be focused on building an extensible discussion forum, which precisely uses a tree structure (implemented on a single MySQL database table) for displaying forum messages and adding new posts.
Of course, using the core logic of this forum as a starting point, you can experiment by adding more features to the overall application and build a more complex discussion forum. This can be integrated with your existing PHP applications, or eventually added to future ones.
