ZipArchive::addFile — Adds a file to a ZIP archive from the given path
$filename
[, string $localname = NULL
[, int $start = 0
[, int $length = 0
]]] ) : boolAdds a file to a ZIP archive from a given path.
Note: For maximum portability, it is recommended to always use forward slashes (/) as directory separator in ZIP filenames.
filenameThe path to the file to add.
localname
If supplied, this is the local name inside the ZIP archive that will override the filename.
startThis parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive.
lengthThis 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 add
<?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 lock the file. The lock is only released once the ZipArchive object has been closed, either via ZipArchive::close() or the ZipArchive object being destroyed. This may prevent you from being able to delete the file being added until after the lock has been released.
