 * Hi,
 * I’m working on an artist site, who needs a press kit.
 * I’ll use advanced custom fields to let him upload some photos, logos, and pdf.
 * That i want is when he upload a new file a script create automatically an updated
   zip file of his press kit.
 * Do you know a plugin or a php script that can help me to do this ?
 * Thanks,
 * Valentin

 * So, finally I did it simply with a little bit of PHP
 * I past my code here if someone needs to do something similar 😉
 *     ```
       <?php
       	$file = get_field('file'); // Get files from Advanced custom fields
       	$name_of_zip = get_field('name_of_zip'); // Get name of zip from Advanced custom fields
   
       	$current_path = getcwd(); // get the current path to where the file is located
       	$folder = explode("/", $current_path); // divide the path in parts (aka folders)
       	$blog = $folder[8]; // the blog's folder is the number 8 on the path
       	$root = realpath($_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]); // $root = path without the blog installation folder.
       	$path = "$root/$blog"; //Get the path of the blog
   
       	$url = get_home_url()."/"; // Get the blog url plus /
       	$files_to_zip = str_replace($url, $path, $file['url']);// Convert files url to files path 
   
       	$zip = new ZipArchive();
       	$filename = $path."wp-content/uploads/press-kit/".$name_of_zip.".zip"; // Create the zip in wp-content/uploads/press-kit
       	$new_filename = substr($files_to_zip,strrpos($files_to_zip,'/') + 1); // Delete path for the zip
   
       	$zip->open($filename, ZipArchive::CREATE);
       	$zip->addFile($files_to_zip, $new_filename);
   
       	$zip->close();
       ?>
       ```
