Thread: download all attachments in one zip file

thats odd. is there anything in the error log? have you looked if there is actually any data at all in the zip file?

No, nothing in the error log at all. The plugin thinks it is working fine. There is no useable data inside the archive that I can get to. Attempting to open one in Windows delivers a generic "archive damaged" message. A Mac can open it, but it contains a different type of archive, which will expand into another zip, then another... in an endless loop.

I suspect that this is not really a problem with the plugin, but more likely a problem with my PHP packages and or config. Any assistance there is welcome.

I have the same problem here. I will check if RarArchive does the job.

It looks like zip in PHP 5.2.7 to 5.2.10 is buggy.

addFromString produces corrupt archive if string is longer than 255 chars.

PHP :: Bug #48763 :: ZipArchive produces corrupt OpenOffice.org files

Everything is fine after upgrading to PHP 5.3.1

thanks for getting to the bottom of this rosali

To clarify: I debugged PHP 5.2.7 - 5.2.10 on Windows OS. Don't know if *nix OS is affected too. 5.2.6 is fine on Windows. Bug starts on PHP 5.2.7. Don't know if the bug was fixed on 5.3.0. But as said 5.3.1 is ok.

JohnDoh, I've a credit next time when I'm again too dumb to adjust simple css files ;-)

The repo version of this plugin has been updated to allow the downloading of entire folders and also of groups of messages as zip files. The various download options are also now configurable.

These new options are only available in the repo version of the plugin at the moment, they are not part of today's 0.4-stable release.
