[SOLVED] Zip Extension

[br0ken]

I'm creating a log file on the fly. This information is then added to a zip folder using the addFromString() method.

 

This works fine for a small sized log file (about 200 chars) but any thing bigger and the Zip folder refuses to extract. Any one have any idea why this could be?

 

Here is my code:

 

	$path	= GetVar("CMS_DIR_BACKUP_DATA");
$zip	= new ZipArchive();
$res	= $zip->open($path.$fname.".zip", ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);

if ($res === true)
{
	$zip->addFromString($fname.".txt", $content);
	$zip->close();
}

Thank you but I wish to use my own code as I know it should be relatively simple.

 

The code I posted above is identical to the code on the PHP examples page so I'm sure why it isn't working!

Can you set the size off the zip folder, is there a setting ?

 

does not sound like a permission prob lam but sounds like the zip's are

set at a default size.

 

can you kindly point me to the page, where your creating the zip's code from.

I got the code from here: http://uk2.php.net/manual/en/zip.examples.php

 

It  definately isn't a permissions problem as a Zip file is created, it just is created incorrectly.

Thanks Mark, that appears to be my problem!
