Hi, you need chain function ->close() for wait to ready the zip file. In my case: Zipper::make(public_path() . '/quibdo.zip')->add($files)->close(); It work! :D

Hi all @lucasolinas .

Thanks for the above solution. But I also need to download the zip file into the user local PC as well since the above code only download the zip file into server. Is there any code have to add in order to do so.

I use below code and it's work for me. $product = Product::find($id); if ($product->brochure_array != null) { $product->brochure_array = unserialize($product->brochure_array); //dd($product->brochure_array); if (!is_dir('zipFiles')) { mkdir('zipFiles'); } if (!isdir('zipFiles/brochure')) { mkdir('zipFiles/brochure'); } $brochureName='zipFiles/brochure/brochure'.time().'.zip'; Zipper::make($brochureName)->add([$product->brochure_array])->close();

        return response()
            ->download(public_path($brochureName));

    } else {
        return redirect()->back()->with('error', "Opps! Invalid request");
    }
