zip directory script

[actioncomics]

since this is my first post on this board i thought i would start by saying..."Hello".

I am trying to zip a directory of files using the below code.

for x in *; do if [ -d "$x" ]; then zip -r "$x.zip" "$x"; fi; done

I have a directory with multiple sub directories. in those sub-directories i have multiples files. if i place this script in the top directory it will create multiple zip files using the sub-directory's name. problem is that in the zip file it creates a directory of the sub-directory, i would rather not have this directory and just have the files alone. Looking at the man pages for zip I noticed a -D option but can not get this to work. can anyone help? if all this does not make sense i will try to explain further. thanks.

Welcome to Mint actioncomics
that in the zip file it creates a directory of the sub-directory
This is the default behavior (also in Windows)
The -D option seems to be what you want and it should be put next to -r
If it does not work, well....

i tried adding the "D" option after the "r" but with no luck. here are the options i tried.

-rD
-r -D
-r-D

I am still new to the terminal so i am not sure if i doing something wrong. If i can not add them to the script is there a way i can change (permanently) the way the zip function works?
