I have one application that upload some files and then I can compress as zip file and download.

Answer 1

Work for me. Where $archive_file_name = 'your_path_to_file_from_root/filename.zip'.

$zip = new \ZipArchive();

if ($zip->open($archive_file_name, \ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE | \ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE) === TRUE) {
  foreach ($files_data as $file_data) {

    $fileUri = \Drupal::service('file_system')->realpath($file_data['file_url']);
    $filename = $file_data['folder'] . $file_data['filename'];
    $zip->addFile($fileUri, $filename);
  }
  $zip->close();
}


$response = new Response();

$response->headers->set('Cache-Control', 'private');
$response->headers->set('Content-type', 'application/zip');
$response->headers->set('Content-Disposition', 'attachment; filename="' . basename($archive_file_name) . '"');
$response->headers->set('Content-length', filesize($archive_file_name));

// Send headers before outputting anything.
$response->sendHeaders();
$response->setContent(readfile($archive_file_name));
return $response;
