Why not use the Zip Encoding Class in Codeigniter - it will do this for you

$name = 'mydata1.txt';
$data = 'A Data String!';

$this->zip->add_data($name, $data);

// Write the zip file to a folder on your server. Name it "my_backup.zip"
$this->zip->archive('/path/to/directory/my_backup.zip'); 

// Download the file to your desktop. Name it "my_backup.zip"
$this->zip->download('my_backup.zip');
