No, i just want to zip a folder (and it's subfolders and files and etc) every day , so i don't have to manully do it all the time (like i current do), like you know how CVS is, the way they display the snapshots? exactally like that (i tried to get a CVS but all the good ones are for unix/linux and the one on windows that i got, im having hard time setting it up :P).

So i just need a script to zip a whole folder and everything in it, any clue how to do this?

I didn't investigate it any further, but read the comments on this page:
http://php.us.themoes.org/manual/en/ref.zip.php

The first one said something like "zip files can be easily created using my Ziplib..."  There's a few other comments that mention writing Zip files involving zLib.
