FUCK YOU PHP!!!! FUCKING HELL JUST FUCK THE HELL OFF YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
8 GOD FORSAKEN HOURS SPENT TRYING TO ZIP SOME SHITTY FUCKING FILES IN A FOLDER ON MY WEB SERVER TO HAVE THEM DOWNLOADED TO MY CLIENT COMPUTER.... 8 HOURS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DAMN FILE AND THE ISSUE WAS "echo" & "print_r()" STATEMENTS GETTING TRAPPED IN MY ZIPARCHIVE BUFFER MAKING THE ZIP FILE A GIANT PILE OF UNREADABLE SHIT.

    I suggest xdebug and any php debugger client you can find. It helps to see the workflow of the code. No die, no var_dump.

    If echoing data influences the output, then the zip library makes use of the output buffer (Look for ob_start). I did not expect it working this way.

    Probably should have looked into that... I thought it was the header() calls that was fucking this up and never would have thought it to be print and echo statements.
    Oh well it's done somehow

    Your problem is you are using PHP. In case you didn't notice it's 2017 use Node

    @gifco I didn't choose it. I'm working on a group project where I have been assigned the front end development and some others are doing the backend. I was just giving em a hand, which ended up being an absolute pain of a task.
