note 111705 added to ziparchive.addfile

As said previously: ZipArchive::addFile() returns true even if the file does not exists… Considering the following code : <?php $zip = new ZipArchive () ; $diskfile = "file:///srv/share/myfile.txt" ; // this URL points to an existing file $zipfile = "myfile.txt" ; if (! $zip->open ("/home/mikael/myzip.zip", ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE)) { die "Cannot open new zip" ; } if (! is_readable ($diskfile)) { // PHP can read file with this URL syntax die "File is not readable" ; } if (! $zip->addFile ($diskfile, $zipfile)) { // Succeeds despite of $diskfile is not readable by ZipArchive with this URL die "Cannot add file to zip" ; } if (! $zip->close ()) { // Allways fails because of $diskfile is not readable for ZipArchive die "Cannot close zip" ; } ?> ZipArchive does not support wrappers which are supported widely by PHP… A dirty solution: <?php … if (! $zip->addFile (preg_replace ("#^file://#", "", $diskfile), $zipfile)) { die "Cannot add file to zip" ; } … ?> I scratched my head during hours before finding this issue… ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 145.242.11.3 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.addfile.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111705 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111705/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111705/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111705/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111705/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111705/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111705/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111705 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111705 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
