Let me test again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-23 08:36:47] dafish at soundtrack-board dot de 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-11-21 14:42:32] dafish at soundtrack-board dot de Here is a little self contained script producing the same error: $zip = new ZipArchive(); $archiveName = 'testtest.zip'; $error = $zip->open($archiveName, ZipArchive::OVERWRITE); echo $error . 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
