<?php

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Zip')
$zip = new COM("Chilkat.Zip");

$zipPath = 'c:/temp/test.zip';

// Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
$zip->NewZip($zipPath);

// Append a new and empty file to the zip object.
// This does not write the zip file.  It simply adds an entry
// that will get processed when the zip is written.
// entry1 is a Chilkat.ZipEntry
$entry1 = $zip->AppendNew('empty.txt');

// Append another entry..
// entry2 is a Chilkat.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
$zip->FileName = $zipPath;
$success = $zip->WriteZipAndClose();
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'Success.' . "\n";
