Here we use XAMPP to run a local web server. Place the php files along with the directory to be zipped in C:\xampp\htdocs(XAMPP is installed in C: drive in this case). In the browser, enter https://localhost/zip.php as the url and the file will be zipped. After this a new zip file is created named 'file'.
Syntax : $zip –m filename.zip file.txt 4. -r Option: To zip a directory recursively, use the -r option with the zip command and it will recursively zips the files in a directory. This option helps you to zip all the files present in the specified directory.
Introduction to PHP ziparchive. ZipArchive method in PHP is used to add the file, new directory, and able to read the zip in PHP. ZipArchive is a class rather than a method; ziparchive contains multiple methods; by the use of it, we can perform various operations on the zip in PHP.
The easiest way to zip a folder on Linux is to use the “zip” command with the “-r” option and specify the file of your archive as well as the folders to be added to your zip file. You can also specify multiple folders if you want to have multiple directories compressed in your zip file.
Here is a simple function that can compress any file or directory recursively, only needs the zip extension to be loaded.
function Zip($source, $destination)
{
if (!extension_loaded('zip') || !file_exists($source)) {
return false;
}
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if (!$zip->open($destination, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)) {
return false;
}
$source = str_replace('\\', '/', realpath($source));
if (is_dir($source) === true)
{
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
foreach ($files as $file)
{
$file = str_replace('\\', '/', $file);
// Ignore "." and ".." folders
if( in_array(substr($file, strrpos($file, '/')+1), array('.', '..')) )
continue;
$file = realpath($file);
if (is_dir($file) === true)
{
$zip->addEmptyDir(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file . '/'));
}
else if (is_file($file) === true)
{
$zip->addFromString(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file), file_get_contents($file));
}
}
}
else if (is_file($source) === true)
{
$zip->addFromString(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));
}
return $zip->close();
}
Call it like this:
Zip('/folder/to/compress/', './compressed.zip');
Yet another recursive directory tree archiving, implemented as an extension to ZipArchive. As a bonus, a single-statement tree compression helper function is included. Optional localname is supported, as in other ZipArchive functions. Error handling code to be added...
class ExtendedZip extends ZipArchive {
// Member function to add a whole file system subtree to the archive
public function addTree($dirname, $localname = '') {
if ($localname)
$this->addEmptyDir($localname);
$this->_addTree($dirname, $localname);
}
// Internal function, to recurse
protected function _addTree($dirname, $localname) {
$dir = opendir($dirname);
while ($filename = readdir($dir)) {
// Discard . and ..
if ($filename == '.' || $filename == '..')
continue;
// Proceed according to type
$path = $dirname . '/' . $filename;
$localpath = $localname ? ($localname . '/' . $filename) : $filename;
if (is_dir($path)) {
// Directory: add & recurse
$this->addEmptyDir($localpath);
$this->_addTree($path, $localpath);
}
else if (is_file($path)) {
// File: just add
$this->addFile($path, $localpath);
}
}
closedir($dir);
}
// Helper function
public static function zipTree($dirname, $zipFilename, $flags = 0, $localname = '') {
$zip = new self();
$zip->open($zipFilename, $flags);
$zip->addTree($dirname, $localname);
$zip->close();
}
}
// Example
ExtendedZip::zipTree('/foo/bar', '/tmp/archive.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE);
I've edited Alix Axel's answer to take a third argrument, when setting this third argrument to true all the files will be added under the main directory rather than directly in the zip folder.
If the zip file exists the file will be deleted as well.
Example:
Zip('/path/to/maindirectory','/path/to/compressed.zip',true);
Third argrument true zip structure:
maindirectory
--- file 1
--- file 2
--- subdirectory 1
------ file 3
------ file 4
--- subdirectory 2
------ file 5
------ file 6
Third argrument false or missing zip structure:
file 1
file 2
subdirectory 1
--- file 3
--- file 4
subdirectory 2
--- file 5
--- file 6
Edited code:
function Zip($source, $destination, $include_dir = false)
{
if (!extension_loaded('zip') || !file_exists($source)) {
return false;
}
if (file_exists($destination)) {
unlink ($destination);
}
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if (!$zip->open($destination, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)) {
return false;
}
$source = str_replace('\\', '/', realpath($source));
if (is_dir($source) === true)
{
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
if ($include_dir) {
$arr = explode("/",$source);
$maindir = $arr[count($arr)- 1];
$source = "";
for ($i=0; $i < count($arr) - 1; $i++) {
$source .= '/' . $arr[$i];
}
$source = substr($source, 1);
$zip->addEmptyDir($maindir);
}
foreach ($files as $file)
{
$file = str_replace('\\', '/', $file);
// Ignore "." and ".." folders
if( in_array(substr($file, strrpos($file, '/')+1), array('.', '..')) )
continue;
$file = realpath($file);
if (is_dir($file) === true)
{
$zip->addEmptyDir(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file . '/'));
}
else if (is_file($file) === true)
{
$zip->addFromString(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file), file_get_contents($file));
}
}
}
else if (is_file($source) === true)
{
$zip->addFromString(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));
}
return $zip->close();
}
