I have a set of jpg files on a page. I want to give the user the option

exist because many times users are presented with a download button and
there must be something behind it. Even if it is one file at a time, I
can loop through the list. As for a name, I can use the current name and
if it is one at a time, then the user can name each one.

Alternatively, I could zip it up into one file and then have the
download.

So, I have two questions:

1 - What is the code to download a file to the user's computer?
2 - How do I zip up a set of jpg files on the server?

Of course you do know they can always download an image by right-clicking
on the image and selecting "Save Image..." (or whatever wording their
browser uses) option. No PHP required.

Of course I know that! However, most users are not overly computer literate
and I would have to give them explicit instructions on what to do. A button
saying "Download" is much easier on the SU. (stupid user). Also, I would
like to have a button that says "Download All Pictures". For either of
these I need code behind the button submit.
