[FLOW3-general] Accessing Resources on Filesystem

[David Sporer]

Oh now I understand.
I'm doing something similar (but I'm not sure if it's good to do so) - I'm
creating a temporary folder where I store all files I want to add to the
zip-File (a Passbook-Pass is basically a zip-file) add the zip-file as a
resource and delete the tmp-folder afterwards.

Hope this helps:
//create tmp-folder
//$environment is an instance of \TYPO3\FLOW3\Utility\Environment
$this->tempPath = $environment->getPathToTemporaryDirectory() .
uniqid('Passbooks_PassInstanceCreation_');
mkdir($this->tempPath);

Saving files to this folder shouldn't be a problem at all.
But I would really appreciate it if anyone of the FLOW3-Core Members could
say if this is a convenient way or if there's a better way to to this
(means to create zip-files from Resources).

Regards
David
