We currently have files that members upload which is parsed and then put into their post. The file itself is then supplied in the post as a link for those that want to grab it. The only drawback is that the file is in raw format and a bit large. These file when compressed are substantially smaller in size. The problem is we dont know as of yet how to compress the file as like a zip or rar into the database so that it can save space and be a quicker grab for those that want it. Any info that could point us in the right direction to do this would be great.
