Zipping up a folder and its contents?

[seanhess]

Hey All,

 

I installed the zip extension for PHP 5.2, but reading the documentation, I can't figure out how to zip up an existing folder.  I mean, I have this folder with a bunch of files in it, right?  I *could* scan the whole thing and add each file to a newly created zip archive, but I don't want to.

 

Is there any way to tell PHP to zip up a folder and have its contents be everything inside that folder?

 

Thanks

*Bump*  Dang, this forum moves fast... I'm nearing the bottom of the page.

 

Anyone know?  Why do all PHP zipping utilities focus so much on manipulating zip archives, when the most standard process is zipping/unzipping entire archives and directories

[ToonMariner]

just use php to iterate recursively through the directory and it can add each file to the list.

I wrote a simple backup script which puts all files in his folder (and all of the sub-folders) in one TAR archive...

(It's classic TAR format not USTAR, so filename and path to it can't be longer then 99 chars)

<?php
/***********************************************************
*   Title:  Classic-TAR based backup script v0.0.1-dev
  **********************************************************/

Class Tar_by_Vladson {
    var $tar_file;
    var $fp;
    function Tar_by_Vladson($tar_file='backup.tar') {
        $this->tar_file = $tar_file;
        $this->fp = fopen($this->tar_file, "wb");
        $tree = $this->build_tree();
        $this->process_tree($tree);
        fputs($this->fp, pack("a512", ""));
        fclose($this->fp);
    }
    function build_tree($dir='.'){
        $handle = opendir($dir);
        while(false !== ($readdir = readdir($handle))){
            if($readdir != '.' && $readdir != '..'){
                $path = $dir.'/'.$readdir;
                if (is_file($path)) {
                    $output[] = substr($path, 2, strlen($path));
                } elseif (is_dir($path)) {
                    $output[] = substr($path, 2, strlen($path)).'/';
                    $output = array_merge($output, $this->build_tree($path));
                }
            }
        }
        closedir($handle);
        return $output;
    }
    function process_tree($tree) {
        foreach( $tree as $pathfile ) {
            if (substr($pathfile, -1, 1) == '/') {
                fputs($this->fp, $this->build_header($pathfile));
            } elseif ($pathfile != $this->tar_file) {
                $filesize = filesize($pathfile);
                $block_len = 512*ceil($filesize/512)-$filesize;
                fputs($this->fp, $this->build_header($pathfile));
                fputs($this->fp, file_get_contents($pathfile));
                fputs($this->fp, pack("a".$block_len, ""));
            }
        }
        return true;
    }
    function build_header($pathfile) {
        if ( strlen($pathfile) > 99 ) die('Error');
        $info = stat($pathfile);
        if ( is_dir($pathfile) ) $info[7] = 0;
        $header = pack("a100a8a8a8a12A12a8a1a100a255",
            $pathfile,
            sprintf("%6s ", decoct($info[2])),
            sprintf("%6s ", decoct($info[4])),
            sprintf("%6s ", decoct($info[5])),
            sprintf("%11s ",decoct($info[7])),
            sprintf("%11s", decoct($info[9])),
            sprintf("%8s", " "),
            (is_dir($pathfile) ? "5" : "0"),
            "",
            ""
            );
        clearstatcache();
        $checksum = 0;
        for ($i=0; $i<512; $i++) {
            $checksum += ord(substr($header,$i,1));
        }
        $checksum_data = pack(
            "a8", sprintf("%6s ", decoct($checksum))
            );
        for ($i=0, $j=148; $i<7; $i++, $j++)
            $header[$j] = $checksum_data[$i];
        return $header;
    }
}

header('Content-type: text/plain');
$start_time = array_sum(explode(chr(32), microtime()));
$tar = & new Tar_by_Vladson();
$finish_time = array_sum(explode(chr(32), microtime()));
printf("The time taken: %f seconds", ($finish_time - $start_time));
?>

 

It is for TAR, but should be similiar for ZIP.
