Bug #60348 [Opn]: Unable to open new zipfile in mode OVERWRITE

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60348&edit=1 ID: 60348 User updated by: dafish at soundtrack-board dot de Reported by: dafish at soundtrack-board dot de Summary: Unable to open new zipfile in mode OVERWRITE Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Zip Related Operating System: Linux Debian 2.6.32 PHP Version: 5.3.8 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: After some more investigation along with an colleague I've found the source of the issue: I was trying to create the archive inside an directory which is symlinked to another directory. After adding realpath() to the archivename, the file could be successfully opened and stored. I'm not sure if the error message was helpful at all and could be changed in the future.

PHP_EOL; // outputs '1' $zip->addFromString('text.txt', 'Lorem Ipsum'); $zip->close(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-21 14:35:07] pajoye@php.net can you create a self contained script? Use addFromString instead and drop everything not needed like exceptions and co, easier/faster for me to debug then. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-21 14:30:29] dafish at soundtrack-board dot de Description: ------------ I'm trying to open a zip file in mode OVERWRITE.
