# AppendNewDir is used when you wish to add a directory to the zip
# such that when the zip is unzipped, the directory will be created
# even if it contains no files.

# entry is a ZipEntry
$entry = $zip->AppendNewDir("dirA");

# entry is a ZipEntry
$entry = $zip->AppendNewDir("dirB");

# entry is a ZipEntry
$entry = $zip->AppendNewDir("dirC");

# Write the zip, which contains 3 empty directories: dirA, dirB, dirC.
$zip->put_FileName($zipPath);
$success = $zip->WriteZipAndClose();
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
