<?php

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

$zip = new CkZip();

    // Note: In the ZIP file format, it is not required for a ZIP file to contain explicit directory entries. 
    // However, explicit directory entries can be included for convenience and compatibility with certain ZIP file processing tools and software.
    // An explicit directory entry in a ZIP file is an entry that specifically represents a directory, rather than a file. 
    // It usually has a directory name with a trailing slash (/) and zero-length content.
    if ($entry->get_IsDirectory()) {
        print $i . ': ' . $entry->fileName() . ' (directory)' . "\n";

// Sample output:

// 0: aaa/ (directory)
// 1: aaa/pigs.json
// 2: bbb/ (directory)
// 3: bbb/base64Cert.txt
// 4: bbb/sub1/ (directory)
