CLXXXVII. Zip File Functions

Introduction

This extension enables you to transparently read or write ZIP compressed archives and the files inside them.

Requirements

PHP 4

The bundled PHP 4 version requires ZZIPlib, by Guido Draheim, version 0.10.6 or later

PHP 5.2.0 or later

This extension uses the functions of zlib by Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler.

Installation

PHP 4

Note: Zip support before PHP 4.1.0 is experimental.

Warning

Because the PHP 4 zip extension is unmaintained we recommend that the PECL extension is used rather than the bundled one.

Linux systems

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --with-zip[=DIR] configure option, where [DIR] is the prefix of the ZZIPlib library install.

Windows

Windows users need to enable php_zip.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions.

PHP 5.2.0 and later

Linux systems

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --enable-zip configure option.

Windows

Windows users need to enable php_zip.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions.

Installation via PECL

Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: http://pecl.php.net/package/zip.

The DLL for this PECL extension may be downloaded from either the PHP Downloads page or from http://pecl4win.php.net/

In PHP 4 this DLL resides in the extensions/ directory within the PHP Windows binaries download.

Runtime Configuration

This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.

Resource Types

There are two resource types used in the Zip module. The first one is the Zip directory for the Zip archive, the second Zip Entry for the archive entries.

Predefined Constants

The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

ZipArchive uses class constants. There is three types of constants, Flags (FL_) errors (ER_) or mode (no prefix).

ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE (integer)

Examples

Example 1. Create a Zip archive

<?php

$zip = new ZipArchive();
$filename = "./test112.zip";

if ($zip->open($filename, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE) {
    exit("cannot open <$filename>\n");
}

$zip->addFromString("testfilephp.txt" . time(), "#1 This is a test string added as testfilephp.txt.\n");
$zip->addFromString("testfilephp2.txt" . time(), "#2 This is a test string added as testfilephp2.txt.\n");
$zip->addFile($thisdir . "/too.php","/testfromfile.php");
echo "numfiles: " . $zip->numFiles . "\n";
echo "status:" . $zip->status . "\n";
$zip->close();
?>

Example 2. Dump the archive details and listing

<?php
$za = new ZipArchive();

$za->open('test_with_comment.zip');
print_r($za);
var_dump($za);
echo "numFiles: " . $za->numFiles . "\n";
echo "status: " . $za->status  . "\n";
echo "statusSys: " . $za->statusSys . "\n";
echo "filename: " . $za->filename . "\n";
echo "comment: " . $za->comment . "\n";

for ($i=0; $i<$za->numFiles;$i++) {
    echo "index: $i\n";
    print_r($za->statIndex($i));
}
echo "numFile:" . $za->numFiles . "\n";
?>

Example 3. Zip stream wrapper, read an OpenOffice meta info

<?php
$reader = new XMLReader();

$reader->open('zip://' . dirname(__FILE__) . '/test.odt#meta.xml');
$odt_meta = array();
while ($reader->read()) {
    if ($reader->nodeType == XMLREADER::ELEMENT) {
        $elm = $reader->name;
    } else {
        if ($reader->nodeType == XMLREADER::END_ELEMENT && $reader->name == 'office:meta') {
            break;
        }
        if (!trim($reader->value)) {
            continue;
        }
        $odt_meta[$elm] = $reader->value;
    }
}
print_r($odt_meta);
?>

This example uses the old API (PHP 4), it opens a ZIP file archive, reads each file in the archive and prints out its contents. The test2.zip archive used in this example is one of the test archives in the ZZIPlib source distribution.

Example 4. Zip Usage Example

<?php

$zip = zip_open("/tmp/test2.zip");

if ($zip) {
    while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {
        echo "Name:               " . zip_entry_name($zip_entry) . "\n";
        echo "Actual Filesize:    " . zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry) . "\n";
        echo "Compressed Size:    " . zip_entry_compressedsize($zip_entry) . "\n";
        echo "Compression Method: " . zip_entry_compressionmethod($zip_entry) . "\n";

        if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry, "r")) {
            echo "File Contents:\n";
            $buf = zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry));
            echo "$buf\n";

            zip_entry_close($zip_entry);
        }
        echo "\n";

    }

    zip_close($zip);

}
?>
