note 84646 added to function.ziparchive-open

The file name does not need to end in '.zip' if it is created using tempnam(). You just need to overwrite the file instead of trying to read it: $file = tempnam("tmp", "zip"); $zip = new ZipArchive(); // Zip will open and overwrite the file, rather than try to read it. $zip->open($file, ZipArchive::OVERWRITE); $zip->close(); // Stream the file to the client header("Content-Type: application/zip"); header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file)); header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"a_zip_file.zip\""); readfile($file); unlink($file); ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 129.107.19.100 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ziparchive-open.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/84646 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84646/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84646/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84646/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84646/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84646/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84646/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/84646 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/84646 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
