PHP creating zip archive adds local disk - php

Question

I want to export all my images in a zip, but for some reason it adds all of my local disk too... I dont understand..
This is the code:
$files = $urls;
$zipname = 'uploads.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($files as $file) {
$name = explode( '/', $file);
$zip->addFile($file, pathinfo( $file, PATHINFO_BASENAME ));
}
$zip->close();
header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);
$files is an array of the location of the image:
ServicesController.php on line 61:
array:3 [▼
0 => "C:\wamp\www\prjct\app/../../prjct/web/uploads/media/default/0001/15/thumb_14794_default_big.gif"
1 => "C:\wamp\www\prjct\app/../../prjct/web/uploads/media/default/0001/15/thumb_14794_default_small.gif"
2 => "C:\wamp\www\prjct\app/../../prjct/web/uploads/media/default/0001/15/thumb_14794_admin.gif"
]
When I opne my zip file i see this:
As you can see there is my local disk witch should not be here..

This should work:
$files = $urls;
$zipname = 'uploads.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
$rootPath = realpath($files);
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($rootPath),
RecursiveIteratorIterator::LEAVES_ONLY
);
foreach ($files as $name => $file) {
// Get real and relative path for current file
$filePath = $file->getRealPath();
$relativePath = substr($filePath, strlen($rootPath) + 1);
// non-empty directories would be added automatically
if (!$file->isDir()){
// Add current file to archive
$zip->addFile($filePath, $relativePath);
}
}
$zip->close();
Generally, you should to use DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR predefined constant instead of slashes/back slashes. This is especially helpful when developing on a Windows machine.
Generally, when working on Windows, make sure to remove the trailing slash when adding folders to zip - that is what created the local disk in your zip file.
$localDirNoSlashes = rtrim($localDir, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR);
$zip->addEmptyDir($localDirNoSlashes);
This was driving me crazy for a while until I realized what is going on...
