RE: aartdebruijn Note on 1024 file limit when adding files to archive. Simple solution for creating large archives - break the file into parts during the loop. /* (scalar) $zipFile - full path to zip file (scalar) $filesPath - base path of files list (array) $filesList - list of files relative to base path */ function create_zip( $zipFile, $filesPath, $filesList, $ignoreError=false ){ // Max Timeout ini_set('max_execution_time', 300); // Handler $zip = new ZipArchive(); // Create Archive if ($zip->open($zipFile, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) !== true) { return 'Failed to create archive'; } // Append Files to Archive // Close / Open after Max to overcome server Open File Limits $loop_inc = 0; $loop_max = 200; foreach($filesList AS $fn) { $fp = $filesPath.$fn; if( file_exists($fp) && is_readable($fp) ){ // Add file to archive if( $zip->addFile($fp, $fn) !== true ) return 'Failed to add file to archive: '.$fn; // If Max Reached - Close / Open if( $loop_inc++ > $loop_max ){ $zip->close(); if( $zip->open( $zipFile ) !== true ){ return 'Failed to open archive for append'; } $loop_inc = 0; } } elseif( !$ignoreError ) return 'Failed to add file to archive: '.$fn; } // Close $zip->close(); return true; } /* Example */ $res = create_zip( '/home/username/www/myfile.zip', '/home/username/www/images/', array( 'image1.jpg', 'folder/image2.jpg' ) ); if( $res !== true ) echo 'Whoops!
