How to gzip folder in Laravel project










1















I want to compress folder and it's content in Laravel project into gzip archive with highest possible compression level.



storage_path().'myFolder'


It's not meant to be transferred over HTTP so please don't get confused with server response gzip compression.



I just want an archive but didn't find info whether Laravel has any tool for the prurpose, any ideas?

    Gzip is a stream compression format, it has no concept of files or directories. You need to use an archive format like tar and gzip that, or use a combination format like Zipfile.

  • /bin/bash ? $ tar -zcf ./archive.tar.gz ./myFolder. From php shell_exec('tar -zcf [path_to]/archive.tar.gz [path_from]/myFolder')

This doesn't seem to be a Laravel specific issue to me. For normal zip compression, there are Laravel packages available (i.e. zanysoft/laravel-zip), but for gzip you might want to have a look at the this answer. To me it doesn't look like it requires an own package for the job.



By the way, you'd use storage_path('myFolder') in favour of storage_path().'myFolder'. This will concatenate the paths properly.
