<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

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

$zip = new CkZip();

$success = $zip->NewZip('test.zip');
if ($success != true) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Append a directory tree.  The call to AppendFiles does
// not read the file contents or append them to the zip
// object in memory.  It simply appends references
// to the files so that when WriteZip or WriteZipAndClose 
// is called, the referenced files are streamed and compressed
// into the .zip output file.

$success = $zip->AppendFiles('c:/temp/a/*',$recurse);
if ($success != true) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\n";
