Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// This example requires 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");

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

// Add references to files:
$recurse = 1;
$success = $zip->AppendFiles('c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1\\*',$recurse);

// Assuming that the file c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif exists,
// the .zip will contain "dude.gif" without any path information.

// The component has no
// choice but to use "c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1" as the root.
// It's not possible for the component to know if you
// wanted subdir1\ or a\subdir1\ or temp\a\subdir1
// paths prefixed for each file added.

// To control the path within the zip, set the AppendFromDir
// directory and then use a relative path in AppendFiles.
// For example:
$zip->AppendFromDir = 'c:\\temp\\a';

$success = $zip->AppendFiles('subdir1\\*',$recurse);

// This causes c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif to be added as
// "subdir1\dude.gif" within the .zip.

// If you need the path within the .zip to be "a\subdir", then
// do this:
$zip->AppendFromDir = 'c:\\temp';
$success = $zip->AppendFiles('a\\subdir1\\*',$recurse);

$success = $zip->WriteZipAndClose();
