ZipArchive::addFile — Adds a file to a ZIP archive from the given path
Adds a file to a ZIP archive from a given path.
The path to the file to add.
local name inside ZIP archive.
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.
