[vox-tech] Alternative to PHP Scripting

[Richard S. Crawford]

I've been trying to use PHP to create a backup script that would read
filenames from a directory, then copy those filenames into a .zip file, then
delete the original files. I wrote a PHP script to do this, but it seemed to
spawn so many httpd child processes that the server load skyrocketed and
users weren't able to get to our website.

So my question is, what other options do I have for performing this sort of
task?
