Description

public ZipArchive::addFile(
    string $filepath,

    int $start = 0,
    int $length = 0,
    int $flags = ZipArchive::FL_OVERWRITE
): bool

Adds a file to a ZIP archive from a given path.

Note: For maximum portability, it is recommended to always use forward slashes (/) as directory separator in ZIP filenames.

Parameters

filepath

The path to the file to add.

entryname

If supplied and not empty, this is the local name inside the ZIP archive that will override the filepath.

start

For partial copy, start position.

length

For partial copy, length to be copied, if 0 or -1 the whole file (starting from start) is used.

flags

Bitmask consisting of ZipArchive::FL_OVERWRITE, ZipArchive::FL_ENC_GUESS, ZipArchive::FL_ENC_UTF_8, ZipArchive::FL_ENC_CP437. The behaviour of these constants is described on the ZIP constants page.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Changelog

Version Description
8.0.0 / 1.18.0 flags was added.

Examples

This example opens a ZIP file archive test.zip and add the file /path/to/index.txt. as newname.txt.

Example #1 Open and add

<?php
$zip 
= new ZipArchive;
if (
$zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
    
$zip->addFile('/path/to/index.txt''newname.txt');
    
$zip->close();
    echo 
'ok';
} else {
    echo 
'failed';
}
?>

Notes

Note:

When a file is set to be added to the archive, PHP will lock the file. The lock is only released once the ZipArchive object has been closed, either via ZipArchive::close() or the ZipArchive object being destroyed. This may prevent you from being able to delete the file being added until after the lock has been released.
