RE: [PHP] PHP Zip Question
Richard,
Thank you for your post and the link to your rant. Indeed I am a PHP newbie
and have fallen into the advice I have been given through google. . .
I have added an exit and probably owe you a donut as I had to remove a
couple of echo's from my code! However, the good news after all of this is
that my code is now working and I can finish off my tests.
Thanks again
Matt

readfile($filename);
Which correctly gives me:
Content-Type: application/zip

PHP didn't do it.
Your zip routines may have done it.
Your code may have done it.
But PHP is not, no its own, just outputting the directory info for no
real reason.
Put an exit right before you readfile() and the headers.
You may need to move the headers down below all the code that
calculates what's getting zipped up and all that...
Dollars to donuts says you've left behind a debugging:
echo pwd();
or something similar.

Re: [PHP] PHP Zip Question
Post a link to your on-line application.
Also, use LiveHTTPHeaders and such to make sure you are getting what
you think you are getting.
And use vi or TextPad or whatever on your desktop to open up the .zip
file and see what's in there.
If it starts with:
ERROR: PHP error blah blah blah
then you've got a pretty good idea why it's not a valid zip file :-)

Dear all,
I am trying to create a zipping mechanism that allows the user to
select a
number of files from a list; these files are then zipped and
downloaded to
the user's machine. I presently have:
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$filename = $zipfinalpath.tutor/zipfiles/.$tutorzipfile;
if ($zip-open($filename, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE) {
exit(cannot open $filename \n);
}
else {
$loopCount = 0;
foreach ($filelisttozip as $i = $fileValue) {
//the
$zip-addFile($fileValue,$filenamelisttozip[$loopCount]);
$loopCount ++;
}
}
$zip-close();
In my test sample of files I have the following file types:
.doc
.zip
.jpg
.doc
And the zip mechanism works when I ask for all or omit any of the
files from
the list, except when I omit the zip file! E.g.
1. Asking for all works
2. Asking for .zip,.jpg,.doc works
3. Asking for .doc,.zip works
4. Asking for .doc,.jpg,.doc doesn't work - 7-zip tells me that the
file is
not support archive and windows tells me the Compressed(folder) is
invalid
or corrupted!
I have used different zip files to make sure that it's not the file,
but all
to no avail. . .but if I add:
$zip = zip_open($filename);
while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {
$file = basename(zip_entry_name($zip_entry));
echo 'a'.$file.'br';
}
zip_close($zip);
to the bottom of my page it correctly displays, on screen, the 3 files
I
expect to be in the zip file.
Any help would be very gratefully received as this is driving me
mad!!!
