I want to have a script preferably php on a linux OS:<br />
<br />
generate a random password<br />
Zip a fixed list of files and encrypt with the above password<br />
move the file to a specified location<br />
generate an email with the link to the location above and ebed the password created above<br />
send the email<br />
create a cron job or other scheduled entry to remove the file a fixed time in the future<br />

I can complete parts of this from my shell scripting days but I'm not sure of the most efficient way to do this in php<br />
Your insights are greatly appreciated

PHP is a widely-used server-side scripting language especially suited for web development, powering tens of millions of sites from Facebook to personal WordPress blogs. PHP is often paired with the MySQL relational database, but includes support for most other mainstream databases. By utilizing different Server APIs, PHP can work on many different web servers as a server-side scripting language.

Encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. In an encryption scheme, the intended communication information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. An authorized recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key provided by the originator to recipients, but not to unauthorized interceptors.
