You are kidding right?

[dreamwest]

no im really that crap at finding stuff on there

 

I cant understand how i can get a plain file added to an archive.

 

This also get me a fatal error:

Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in

 

$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
    $zip->addFile('/path/to/index.txt', 'newname.txt');
    $zip->close();
    echo 'ok';
} else {
    echo 'failed';
}

But the function reference is broken into sections. eg; zip obviously falls under 'Compression and Archive Extensions'.

 

On top of that, if you know the name of a function you want to look up you can simply append it to the address. eg; http://php.net/functionname

 

The first thing I do when learning any programming language is learn how the manual works.

Did you view the 'Installation' section?

Thats where my problem is, i dont know what im searching for to begin with.

 

For this i searched for "Create zip file" results were http://au.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern=create+zip+file

and a few other search queries

Simply searching zip would have gotten you a better result. Its not google.
