How download all files from folder in php?

All, I allow users to upload images to my website. For that user I'd like to download all of the images that the user uploaded to my site from my website. So I'd like to basically have a dropdown of the usernames and then when I select one query my database and obtain all of the images that they downloaded. That part is no issue.

My issue is that how can I go through each of these files and put them into a zip folder and then download the zip folder [if that's possible].

Any ideas on how to go about doing something like that?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I know how to download the file once it's zipped by using the following code:

header['Content-Type: application/zip'];
header['Content-disposition: attachment; filename=filename.zip'];
header['Content-Length: ' . filesize[$zipfilename]];
readfile[$zipname];
