# This does not write the zip file.  It simply adds an entry
# that will get processed when the zip is written.
# entry1 is a ZipEntry

# Append another entry..
# entry2 is a ZipEntry
$entry2 = $zip->AppendNew("abc/helloWorld.txt");

# Add some data to this entry..
$entry2->AppendString("Hello World","utf-8");

# Write the zip, which contains 2 files:  empty.txt and helloWorld.txt
