// 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");

$success = $zip->OpenZip('qa_data/zips/xml_files.zip');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// entry is a Chilkat.ZipEntry
$entry = $zip->FirstEntry();
if ($zip->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print 'This zip archive is empty.' . "\n";
    exit;
}

$finished = 0;
while ($finished == 0) {

    if ($entry->IsDirectory == 0) {
        print $entry->FileName . "\n";
    }
    else {
        print '(directory) ' . $entry->FileName . "\n";
    }

    // next is a Chilkat.ZipEntry
    $next = $entry->NextEntry();
    if ($entry->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
        $finished = 1;
    }

    // entry is a Chilkat.ZipEntry
    $entry = $next;
}

// Sample output showing both file and directory entries:

// a1.xml
// b1.xml
// c1.xml
// (directory) dir1/
// dir1/a2.xml
// dir1/c2.xml
// (directory) dir2/
// (directory) dir2/dir3/
// dir2/dir3/c3.xml
