note 86188 modified in function.ziparchive-addemptydir by thiago

I've brought a little modification to dayjo's code, so it wouldn't re-create the whole structure of your working drive in the zip file: <?php // Function to recursively add a directory, // sub-directories and files to a zip archive function addFolderToZip($dir, $zipArchive, $zipdir = ''){ if (is_dir($dir)) { if ($dh = opendir($dir)) { //Add the directory if(!empty($zipdir)) $zipArchive->addEmptyDir($zipdir); // Loop through all the files while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) { //If it's a folder, run the function again! if(!is_file($dir . $file)){ // Skip parent and root directories if( ($file !== ".") && ($file !== "..")){ addFolderToZip($dir . $file . "/", $zipArchive, $zipdir . $file . "/"); } }else{ // Add the files $zipArchive->addFile($dir . $file, $zipdir . $file); } } } } } ?> If you don't specify the third parameter (zipdir), the directory you're adding will be added at the root of the zip file.
