Also, you could try the method mentioned in the last post if the feature request: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41243
However, I don’t know if that works, since the poster hasn’t tested it, and I haven’t tested it either.

//add the files
foreach($valid_files as $file)
{
//addFile – http://www.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.addfile.php
//filename – The path to the file to add.
//localname – this is the local name inside the ZIP archive that will override the filename.
$filename = basename(file);
$ext = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$localname = $filename.”.”.$ext;
//debug
echo ”.$file.” ~ “.$localname;
$zip->addFile($file,$localname);
}

I’m currently using following script (obviously I’ve included the big script above this):

$files_to_zip = array(
ROOT_URL.$URL_ORIGINAL
);
//if true, good; if false, zip creation failed
$result = create_zip($files_to_zip,$URL_ZIP);
if($result) {
echo ‘Download‘;
}

Thank You very much for useful function.

Sincerely, Serj.
