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.<br>
<br>So my question is, what other options do I have for performing this sort of task?<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Sláinte,<br>Richard S. Crawford (<a href="mailto:richard@underpope.com" target="_blank">richard@underpope.com</a>)<br>
