My question is: Where is the test.zip archive file located? (/tmp, maybe?) I would expect it to be in the same dir as the processing script, but I don't see anything in the dir by the name of test.zip.

I might be completely wrong, but I believe that the actual test.zip is only created if everything worked out fine (including that the zip won't be empty). So unless you're getting "good to go: ...", there won't be a zip file. If everything works well, the file is supposed to be created in the current working directory, i.e. the usually the directory of the requested script.

Thank you for the inro: As it turns out, the cwd of the script did not have adequate write permissions set. Once I corrected that problem I got the test.zip file to show up. But I am wondering why I did not get the error code: ZIPARCHIVE::ER_OPEN

Can't open file...    if write permissions where wrong?

Since posting this query, I got a zip file created with an included directory and downloaded and uncompressed it successfully. I ran across user comments on the php.net site for ZipArchive claiming that addEmptyDir was remove or disabled, and in fact I couldn't get it to work. I was able to include a dir in the zip file by using addFile and naming the file with a containing dir: "storage/toZip.txt" I also discovered that calling download code from an async get request wouldn't work. I just got the contents of the zip file returned to the origin page (as I coded it in the original message). I got it to work with sync form submission. Thanks for time and attention: JK
