Multiple Image file how to zip in codeigniter

Question

I have multiple image in folder, and I get it on href button. So how to zip that file in codeigniter.

Here is my View Code:

<a href="<?php echo base_url()."index.php/itr1/download/".$key['pan_card']."/".$key['previous_itr'] ?>" name="images">Downalod All Attachments</a>

Here is my Controller:

public function download()
{
    // File path
    $id =  $this->uri->segment(3); 
    $id1 =  $this->uri->segment(4); 

    $filepath1 = FCPATH.'upload/'.$id;
    $filepath2 = FCPATH.'upload/'.$id1;

    $filename = "backup.zip";
    $this->zip->download($filename);
}
