(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PECL zip >= 1.1.0)
ZipArchive::addFile — Adds a file to a ZIP archive from the given path
$filename
[, string $localname = NULL
[, int $start = 0
[, int $length = 0
]]] )Adds a file to a ZIP archive from a given path.
filename
The path to the file to add.
localname
If supplied, this is the local name inside the ZIP archive that will override the filename.
start
This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive.
length
This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive.
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
This example opens a ZIP file archive test.zip and add the file /path/to/index.txt. as newname.txt.
Example #1 Open and extract
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
$zip->addFile('/path/to/index.txt', 'newname.txt');
$zip->close();
echo 'ok';
} else {
echo 'failed';
}
?>
Note:
When a file is set to be added to the archive, PHP will attempt to lock the file and it is only released once the ZIP operation is done. In short, it means you can first delete an added file after the archive is closed.
