PHP zip create and extract

[Bhagyashree_ABZWebdev]

Hello,

I am creating zip file of multiple files using PHP and downloading it.

Problem is that: zip file is getting extracted by only WinRAR, its not getti ng extracted by default windows extracter or other software.

Here is code which I have written -

            $file_folder = 'referral-resume/';
            if(extension_loaded('zip'))
            { 
                if(isset($_POST['files']) and count($_POST['files']) > 0)
                {     
                    $zip = new ZipArchive();
                    $zip_name = "referralresumes".time().".zip";
                    if($zip->open($zip_name, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE)
                    { 
                        $error .= "* Sorry ZIP creation failed at this time";
                    }
                    foreach($_POST['files'] as $file){ 
                        $zip->addFromString(basename($file_folder.$file),  file_get_contents($file_folder.$file));  
 
                    }
                    $zip->close();
                    if(file_exists($zip_name)){
                        header('Content-type: application/zip');
                        header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'.$zip_name.'"');
                        readfile($zip_name);
                        unlink($zip_name);
                    }
 
                }
                else{
                    $error .= "* Please select file to zip ";
                }    
            }
            else{
                $error .= "* You dont have ZIP extension";
            }

If you want Windows to use the built-in ZIP handler then you need to tell Windows to use the built-in ZIP handler. PHP has nothing to do with it.
