This module enables you to transparently read or write ZIP compressed archives and the files inside them.
The initial version is bundled in PHP 4 and is available in PECL as version 1.0, see http://pecl.php.net/package/zip. It can only read Zip Archives.
This version uses the functions of the ZZIPlib library by Guido Draheim. You need ZZIPlib version >= 0.10.6.
The newest version is bundled in PHP 5.2.0 or later and available in PECL, as version 1.1.0 or later. It does not require any external library. It can read and write Zip archives when used with PHP 5.1 or later and can only read them when used with PHP4.
This PECL extension is not bundled with PHP. 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.
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.
In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --enable-zip configure option. It does not require any external library.
Note: You can use the PECL version with PHP4. In order to do it you have to disable the bundled Zip extension or recompile PHP without it.
Windows users will enable php_zip.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions. In PHP 4 this DLL resides in the extensions/ directory within the PHP Windows binaries download. You may download this PECL extension DLL from the PHP Downloads page or at http://snaps.php.net/.
Note: Zip support before PHP 4.1.0 is experimental. This section reflects the Zip extension as it exists in PHP 4.1.0 and later.
Windows users will enable php_zip.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions. In PHP 4 this DLL resides in the extensions/ directory within the PHP Windows binaries download. You may download this PECL extension DLL from the PHP Downloads page or at http://snaps.php.net/.
This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.
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.
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).
Create the archive if it does not exist.
Always start a new archive, this mode will overwrite the file if it already exists.
Error if archive already exists.
Perform additional consistency checks on the archive, and error if they fail.

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