D7 create zip archive from multiple custom uploaded files

In this article I would like to share another interesting task connected with upload files in D7.

Task is to have custom form that allows to upload multiple files at once and create zip archive from these files on finish.

I really liked the way google mail handles attached files form and tried to implement similar behavior but without writing custom javascript. Thanks to Form API and #ajax property it is very managable. So lets dive into code!
