creating ZIP files

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Mar 12.2007

I have installed PEAR ArchiveZip and I have it working.

However, when I examine my archive, I see the paths are all wrong.

It gives me loads of directories before I get to my files, like this:

C:wampwwwmysitepdfdirfile.pdf

I cant figure out how to prevent it doing that – any ideas? I just want the pdfs in the root of the archive.

I am using the tutorial here:

@NightShift58Mar 12.2007 — When calling the "create()" method, add 'remove_all_path' to the parameters you are passing to it.[code=php]if ($obj->create($files,'remove_all_path')) {
echo 'Created successfully!';
} else {
echo 'Error in file creation';
}[/code]

@mameha1977authorMar 12.2007 — if ($obj->create($in_files, 'remove_all_path')) {

...When I try that I get the 'error in file creation' message.


if ($obj->create($in_files)) {

...If I go back to the simple one it works again.

I didn't touch anything in the original zip.php file.

@NightShift58Mar 12.2007 — I took another look at the documentation. It's still no clear to me, but it may be expecting an array as parameter. If that the case, this could work: [code=php]$ZIPparam = array("remove_all_path");
if ($obj->create($files,$ZIPparam)) {
echo 'Created successfully!';
} else {
echo 'Error in file creation';
}[/code]

@mameha1977authorMar 12.2007 — Tried that but again I get the error. Im wondering if I need to pass it an array and the 4th entry has that value...

@mameha1977authorMar 12.2007 — Fixed with this:

$ZIPparam = array('no_compression' => false,
'add_path' => "",
'remove_path' => "",
'remove_all_path' => TRUE);

if ($obj->create($in_files, $ZIPparam)) {

...

Thanks for your help!
