Recursive function to create a zip file - php

Question

Hello i used this function for create a zip file (with sub files and sub directories)
<?php
function folderToZip($folder, &$zipFile, $exclusiveLength) {
$handle = opendir($folder);
while (false !== $f = readdir($handle)) {
if ($f != '.' && $f != '..') {
$filePath = "$folder/$f";
// Remove prefix from file path before add to zip.
$localPath = substr($filePath, $exclusiveLength);
if (is_file($filePath)) {
$zipFile->addFile($filePath, $localPath);
} elseif (is_dir($filePath)) {
// Add sub-directory.
$zipFile->addEmptyDir($localPath);
folderToZip($filePath, $zipFile, $exclusiveLength);
}
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
function zipDir($sourcePath, $outZipPath)
{
$pathInfo = pathInfo($sourcePath);
$parentPath = $pathInfo['dirname'];
$dirName = $pathInfo['basename'];
$z = new ZipArchive();
$z->open($outZipPath, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
//$z->addEmptyDir($dirName);
folderToZip($sourcePath, $z, strlen("$parentPath/"));
$z->close();
}
zipDir('mydirectory', 'copy_'.time().'.zip');
?>
The function works perfectly, but only when the file that creates the .zip file is external to "mydirectory"
- mydirectory
- createzip.php
But I would like the file that creates the .zip file was in "mydirectory/update/"
- mydirectory
- mydirectory/update/createzip.php
and do this : zipDir('../../mydirectory', 'copy_'.time().'.zip'); , but this does not work
UPDATE : with this function, the problem persists, I can not make a copy of the folder by running the script to copy from folder to be copied
function Zip($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();
}

Replace
zipDir('mydirectory', 'copy_'.time().'.zip');
with
$time = time();
zipDir('mydirectory', 'copy_'.$time.'.zip');
rename('copy_'.$time.'.zip', 'mydirectory/update/copy_'.$time.'.zip');
This will create the zip and then move it to the path mydirectory/update/createzip.php
Hope this is what you meant.
