Req #41243 [Com]: How to use ZIPARCHIVE::CM_STORE

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=41243&edit=1 ID: 41243 Comment by: mpeters at domblogger dot net Reported by: joel dot alexandre at gmail dot com Summary: How to use ZIPARCHIVE::CM_STORE Status: Assigned Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Zip Related PHP Version: 5.x Assigned To: pajoye Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It is imperative that this bug be addressed and fixed. The epub specification requires that the first file in the zip archive be named mimetype and be uncompressed. Until this bug is fixed, it is thus impossible to create a valid epub file in pure php w/o executing system commands (forbidden in many environments). *maybe* it could be worked around by having a skeleton zip archive with the mimetype file in it uncompressed, but really, we need to be able to create a fresh zip archive, add that file, with no compression.

No compression could be useful for creating large archives of multiple files on the fly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-04 17:44:31] shockmaker at hotmail dot com I'm looking to create a zip file with a compression level of 0 on some files. So this feature is essential for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-03-16 04:53:19] jotunbane at gmail dot com 3 years and still no solution to this? Dude you are holding back an entire industry here (exaggeration, I know). Can somebody come up with a workaround for this?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-13 16:49:59] made at up dot address Please implement the ability to store files uncompressed in a zip archive. Without this, it is not possible to create epub documents using php, as the standards require that a particular file is always added to the archive uncompressed. http://www.idpf.org/2007/ops/OPS_2.0_final_spec.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-05-26 11:31:03] andreidf at yahoo dot com "Future versions will let you specify the compression mode and method." When? :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
