I need to create a zip file in php, including in it some doc and pdf files. I use a function found on the web:
function create_zip($files = array(),$destination = '',$overwrite = true) {
//if the zip file already exists and overwrite is false, return false
if(file_exists($destination) && !$overwrite) { return false; }
//vars
$valid_files = array();
//if files were passed in...
if(is_array($files)) {
//cycle through each file
foreach($files as $file) {
//make sure the file exists
if(file_exists($file)) {
$valid_files[] = $file;
}
}
}
//if we have good files...
if(count($valid_files)) {
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if($zip->open($destination,$overwrite ? ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE : ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) !== true) {
return false;
}
foreach($valid_files as $file)
$zip->addFile($file,$file);
$zip->close();
return file_exists($destination);
}
else
return false;
}
The problem is that if the file path to include into the zip is path/to/file/filename.pdf when I download and open the zip i get filename.pdf contained into path/to/file folders. How can I do to put all the files in the root of the zip?
