Thanks for pointing out this man page. The (currently) top-most comment (by "info at peterhofer dot ch") clarifies an issue that came up recently on this mailing list[1], namely that insufficient permissions to create the zip file will not be reported when calling ZipArchive::open(), but rather when calling ZipArchive::close(). In my opinion it is important to have a respective note on the ZipArchive::open() man page. [1] <http://news.php.net/php.general/324790>

Thank you. Now that you mention it, and I looked back at the manual as advised. I remember seeing that user note and even remembering it when I posted the query, but couldn't remember where I'd seen it. As I now read the manual, I realized I was skipping an important part: I.E. zip and its functions etc. I did see one user note with code that used a CM constant as flag in ZipArchive->open http://php.net/manual/en/zip.examples.php Stefano Di Paolo //...etc if($ziph->open($archiveFile, ZIPARCHIVE::CM_PKWARE_IMPLODE) !== TRUE) //... etc So this gives me some idea.
