Download from SVN

[harmlessgoat22]

Is there a way I can make a script that will either...
A) Hook up a download to a SVN repository, so each time someone clicks "Download" it zip's up the repository and downloads it. (I know this is possible - STG has this in their MOD Manager...and I could just copy some of that code, I have access to it, but I have no idea how it works)

or...

B) Automagically zip up the repository at a certain time, and make a topic in a forum, and attach the download.

A is preferred, and is probably much easier, so any help would be great!

You could use [url=http://phpbbmodders.net/board/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=2666]functions_svn[/url] to update the SVN repo (assuming SVN is installed on your server), and then phpBB's includes/functions_compress.php to create the zip. Then a variation of the code in download/file.php to push it to the client.

Another thing regarding the SVN thing. Since your server may not have SVN installed (functions_svn requires it), you could use [url=http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/4270.html]this class[/url] (you'll have to register at the site), that allows you to download files from an SVN repo using webdav (XML over HTTP), all written in PHP.
