ziparchive

[homer.favenir]

hi,

i need to compress or zip a folder or directory and here is my script

 

$dir = "test";
$dir2 = scandir($dir);
$zip = new ZipArchive; 
$r = $zip->open('test.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE); 

foreach($dir2 as $item){
if($item == "." || $item == ".."){
	//do nothing
}else{
	$r = $zip->addFile($item,'item');
	echo $item;
}
}

 

but it's not zipping my folder

 

but when i tried this one

$zip = new ZipArchive; 
$r = $zip->open('test.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE); 
$r = $zip->addFile('testfile','testfile');

its working.

 

i cant make the array working in ziparchive function

 

please advice

<?php

class Zipper extends ZipArchive {
   
public function addDir($path) {
    print 'adding ' . $path . '<br>';
    $this->addEmptyDir($path);
    $nodes = glob($path . '/*');
    foreach ($nodes as $node) {
        print $node . '<br>';
        if (is_dir($node)) {
            $this->addDir($node);
        } else if (is_file($node))  {
            $this->addFile($node);
        }
    }
}
   
} // class Zipper 

 

this is code straight from the  addFile method's reference page the code was made public by "peter at boring dot ch" its not my code, but it would solve your problem

its not working

<?php
$dir = "test"; //folder with 2 files

class Zipper extends ZipArchive {
   
public function addDir($path) {
    print 'adding ' . $path . '<br>';
    $this->addEmptyDir($path);
    $nodes = glob($path . '/*');
    foreach ($nodes as $node) {
        print $node . '<br>';
        if (is_dir($node)) {
            $this->addDir($node);
        } else if (is_file($node))  {
            $this->addFile($node);
        }
    }
}
   
}
$zip = new Zipper();
$zip->addDir($dir);
?>

$zip = new Zipper;

Thank you very much!

[homer.favenir]

is there a way i can indicate the target location for saved zip file, because it is saving in the directory of the sript

 

tia

[RussellReal]

in the open method you'd specify the whole path.. for example:

 

C:\myZip.zip

 

and it'll save to C:\ but if you just do myZip.zip it'll save into the directory which contains the active php script

[homer.favenir]

thank you so much, youre a life saver

Nooo I wish, I'd want to be one of the gummy ones, and pink! they're the best lol. Please 'solve' the topic

hi,

the zipping of file is ok but it also zips the root folder

class Zipper extends ZipArchive {
   
public function addDir($path) {
    //print 'adding ' . $path . '<br>';
    $this->addEmptyDir($path);
    $nodes = glob($path . '/*');
    foreach ($nodes as $node) {
        //print $node . '<br>';
        if (is_dir($node)) {
            $this->addDir($node);
        } else if (is_file($node))  {
            $this->addFile($node);
        }
    }
}
}

$dir = "\\\\asecasiagsd\\AGS\\AGS\\WIP\\RECSCHART\\";
		$folder = "\\\\asecasiagsd\\AGS\\AGS\\WIP\\RECSCHART\\".$artid;
		$dest = $dir;
		$zip = new Zipper;
		$zip->open($dest.$artid.'.zip',Zipper::CREATE);
		$zip->addDir($dir.$artid);
		$zip->close();

 

when i unzip it, it has a directory of ags/wip/recschart/$artid/all files

i need the folder $artid/all files only

 

please help

anyone please?

I've modified the code above that I gave you from the poster on php.net and have come up with something pretty sweet, hope it solves your problem

 

<?php
class Zipper extends ZipArchive {
   
public function addIntoDir($path,$name = false,$into = false) {
	$path = trim($path,'/');
	if ($name === false) $name = $path;
	$this->addEmptyDir($e = ($into.'/'.$name));
	$nodes = glob($path . '/*');
	foreach ($nodes as $node) {
		$x = explode('/', $node);
		if (is_dir($node)) {
			$this->addIntoDir($node,$x[count($x) - 1],$path);
		} else if (is_file($node))  {
			$this->addFile($node,$path.'/'.$x[count($x) - 1]);
		}
	}
}
}
$z = new Zipper;
$z->open('zipToMake.zip',Zipper::CREATE);
$z->addIntoDir('PathToTheDirectoryToZip','NameOfDirectoryInsideZipFile');
?>

sorry to ask but is this the correct usage for the script?

$dir = "//asecasiagsd/AGS/AGS/WIP/RECSCHART//";
			$folder = $artid;

$z = new Zipper;
$z->open($dir.$artid.".zip",Zipper::CREATE);
$z->addIntoDir($dir,$folder);
$z->close();

 

thanks

[RussellReal]

what is $artid? you want the files to come from RECSCHART but you want it to show up in /$artid/? than yes thats how you'd do it

[homer.favenir]

i need to zip

$dir = "//asecasiagsd/AGS/AGS/WIP/RECSCHART//";
$folder = $artid;
$folder_to_zip = $dir.$folder;

and save it to $dir....

 

thanks for the continous help, i just cant figure it out...

Top right corner just before the topic list begins is few links including "New topic".

[homer.favenir]

or i will just use the rename function to move the save zip file? is there any better way?

[homer.favenir]

$dir = "d:\\asecmenu\sample\sample";
$z = new Zipper;
$z->open('d:\\asecmenu\sample\zipToMake.zip',Zipper::CREATE);
$z->addIntoDir($dir,$dir);

 

i tried this in my localhost, and it is zipping the all folder i indicated in $dir from asecmenu\sample\sample\*.*

so the zip file has three folders, asecmenu, sample and sample, but i want is just the last sample folder...

 

 

 

[RussellReal]

<?php
$dir = "d:\\asecmenu\sample\sample";
$z = new Zipper;
$z->open('d:\\asecmenu\sample\zipToMake.zip',Zipper::CREATE);
$z->addIntoDir($dir,'sample');
?>

[homer.favenir]

he is zipping the whole directory in open method...

    exit("cannot open <$archive_file_name>\n");
  }

  //add each files of $file_name array to archive
  foreach($file_names as $files)
