// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

// Add a reference to a file on disk to the zip object.
// (When appending files to a zip, the files are not actually
// read into memory.  References to the file(s) are added.
// When WriteZip is called, the referenced files are streamed in
// and compressed to the .zip.)

// Retrieve the entry object...

// Set the entry's filename to anything you want:
$entry->put_FileName('somethingElse.xml');

// Note: Internally, the zip component retains the name of
// the file referenced.  The current setting of the zip entry's
// FileName property is stored in the .zip when writing.

// The zip written here will contain somethingElse.xml
