// Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
$success = $zip->NewZip('qa_output/test.zip');

// Set a path prefix:
$zip->PathPrefix = 'directory_name/';

// Add references to files:
$recurse = 1;
$success = $zip->AppendFiles('c:/zipTest/directory_name/*',$recurse);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}
