What is the best way to allow users to download multiple files simultaneously on a WordPress website using PHP?

To allow users to download multiple files simultaneously on a WordPress website using PHP, you can create a zip file containing all the files and provide a download link for the zip file. This way, users can download all the files at once in a single zip file. 

<?php
// Array of file paths to be zipped
$files = array(
    'path/to/file1.pdf',
    'path/to/file2.jpg',
    'path/to/file3.docx'
);

// Create a zip archive
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip_name = 'download_files.zip';
if ($zip->open($zip_name, ZipArchive::CREATE) === TRUE) {
    foreach ($files as $file) {
        $zip->addFile($file);
    }
    $zip->close();

    // Set headers for zip file download
    header('Content-Type: application/zip');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' . $zip_name . '"');
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zip_name));

    // Output the zip file
    readfile($zip_name);

    // Delete the zip file after download
    unlink($zip_name);
}
?>
