PHP exec() and Zipping Upload file in Windows

[johnny]

I have the following code. What I need is to zip the file
(c:\web\upload\someFile) to d:\web\someFile.zip.

$cmd = 'c:\zip\zip.exe '. $movedFile. ' '. $finalFile;
exec( $cmd, $cmd_output );

File is being uploaded by the apache server, but it's not being zipped.
My guess "\", escaping, is causing problem in windows path. Do I also
have to escape the $movedFile content? Forexample $movedFile=
"c:\web\upload\someFile".

I have the feeling that it's not because of the escape string.
If the string is already in a variable, PHP won't take account of the
escape sequence
(coz it's already escaped).
Anyway, PHP only escape strings that are surrounded by double quote (")
not single quote (')

to manage and create zip files , use the zip extension available since
php 5.2.0 or via PECL (and pecl4win if you are using windows)
