<?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);

// 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 Chilkat.ZipEntry
$entry = $zip->AppendNewDir('dirA');

// entry is a Chilkat.ZipEntry
$entry = $zip->AppendNewDir('dirB');

// entry is a Chilkat.ZipEntry
$entry = $zip->AppendNewDir('dirC');

// Write the zip, which contains 3 empty directories: dirA, dirB, dirC.
$zip->FileName = $zipPath;
$success = $zip->WriteZipAndClose();
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
