ZipArchive::addFile — Adds a file to a ZIP archive from the given path

Description

Adds a file to a ZIP archive from a given path.

Parameters

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.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples

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';
}
?>

Notes

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.
