I agree, but I would also say that ZIP is the de-facto standard that is supported by all Operating Systems. And why build up something where you can choose between zip, arj, rar, gz, bz2 when practically all do the same and just one is needed?
So I would really recommend using ZIP only (using the PHP extension http://uk.php.net/zip) to keep the code simple and maintainable.
ack - but making a generic framework where you can substitute .zip with something else might not hurt.
maybe there is a possibility to make it in a way, that it can be used as a "convert 2 something" tool.
so a zip download might be a "convert all 2 .zip". and in addtion, there could be a "convert pdf 2 txt" or similar.
too complicated?
