I'm writing a PHP script that downloads a series of generated files (using wget
) into a directory, and then zips then up, using the zip
command.
The downloads work perfectly, and the zipping mostly works. I run the command:
zip -r /var/www/oraviewer/rgn_download/download/fcst_20100318_0319.zip /var/www/oraviewer/rgn_download/download/fcst_20100318_0319
which yields a zip file with all the downloaded files, but it contains the full /var/www/oraviewer/rgn_download/download/
directories, before reaching the fcst_20100318_0319/
directory.
I'm probably just missing a flag, or something small, from the zip command, but how do I get it to use fcst_20100318_0319/
as the root directory?
