// 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 file that will contain the string "Hello World";
$fileContent = 'Hello World';
$pathInZip = 'txtFiles/helloWorld.txt';
// entry is a Chilkat.ZipEntry
$entry = $zip->AppendString($pathInZip,$fileContent);

$zip->FileName = $zipPath;
$success = $zip->WriteZipAndClose();
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'Success.' . "\n";
