At http://www.phpconcept.net/pclzip/ you'll find a nice php zip library. Imagine having an array of filenames like

$filenames = array(
    "file_01.txt",
    "file_02.doc",
    "file_03.pdf"
);

the code would look like this (untested)

require_once('pclzip.lib.php');
$archive = new PclZip('archive.zip');
foreach($filenames as $filename) {
    $result = $archive->add($filename);
    if($result==0) {
        die ("Error: " . $archive->errorInfo(true));
    }
}
header("Content-type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-disposition: attachment; filename=archive.zip");
readfile("archive.zip");

Hope this helps ;-)
