Hey blackrageous

I am on windows I have tried cygwin to use rsync and have come to the conclusion it is not the best way to go. Using an exclusion file and
Code:
--exclude-from

I can parse the tree so that I exclude two of the three subfolders. The collected files are not zipped though. Afterwards I could zip the resultant directory but I was looking for something a little more 'door to door'. I am now looking at the zip command but arriving at the same conclusion that it will just lump these files together. I don't know how I would script the rsync to be proceeded by a zip command. I guess that's not all that bad.
Do you have any suggestions? I'd love to learn more about scripting really...

zip_entry_open

ZIP_ENTRY_OPEN(3)							 1							 ZIP_ENTRY_OPEN(3)

zip_entry_open - Open a directory entry for reading

SYNOPSIS

       bool zip_entry_open (resource  $zip, resource  $zip_entry, [string  $mode])

DESCRIPTION

	Opens a directory entry in a zip file for reading.

PARAMETERS

	      o $zip
		- A valid resource handle returned by zip_open(3).

	      o $zip_entry
		- A directory entry returned by zip_read(3).

	      o $mode
		- Any of the modes specified in the documentation of fopen(3).

	      Note

		      Currently, $mode is ignored and is always "rb". This is due to the fact that zip support in PHP is read only access.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

       Note

	       Unlike  fopen(3)  and other similar functions, the return value of zip_entry_open(3) only indicates the result of the operation and
	      is not needed for reading or closing the directory entry.

SEE ALSO

       zip_entry_close(3), zip_entry_read(3).
