I want to zip files uploaded by a user to a certain Location.
While the upload part works, I have no Idea how to zip the file. I am able to create a zip, but do not now how to actually save it to a disk.
Simply pass the desired destination path to the zip when creating it:
$path = 'path/to/file.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open($path, ZipArchive::CREATE);
// add contents...
$zip->close();
This is gonna surely help you out....These are 2 well explained examples hope it helps ..

I am using Zipper to extract uploaded zip file and delete the file after extract.
So I upload and extract like this:
$f = $request['file']->move(public_path($directory), $fullFileName);
\Zipper::make($f)->extractTo(public_path($directory) . $fileName);
and it works great. I've tried to delete the file using these ways.
1 - Storage::disk('products')->delete($fullFileName);
2 - File::delete(public_path($directory) . $fullFileName);
3 - $del = unlink(public_path($directory) . $fullFileName);
but in all actions get resource temporarily unavailable error.
I found this error is because of the zipper (simple files and directories works).
so my question is, How can I delete upload zip file after extract, using a zipper?
Any idea would be great.
thanks in advance.
You need to call $zipper->close(); after you extract it, so if you do something like this it should work:
$zipper = new \Chumper\Zipper\Zipper;
$zipper->make($f)->extractTo(public_path($directory) . $fileName);
$zipper->close();
unlink(public_path($directory) . $fullFileName);
If you do not close the zipper it will not write the result to the disk and keep the original file locked. See the documentation.
$zip = new Zipper;
$zip->make($pathZipFile)->extractTo($destinationPath);
$zip->close(); // important
unlink($pathZipFile); // delete Zip file after
I have written the PHP script to generate the zip file. it's working fine when I use rar software to extract it but not getting extract with rar software. I can't ask to users to install rar software to extract downloaded zip file.
I don't know where i am commiting mistakes.
Here i attached error screen shot which i get when try to open zip file.
// Here is code snippet
$obj->create_zip($files_to_zip, $dir . '/download.zip');
// Code for create_zip function
//create the archive
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open($destination, $overwrite ? ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE : ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) !== true) {
return false;
}
//add the files
foreach ($valid_files as $file) {
$filearr = explode('/', $file);
$zip->addFile($file, end($filearr));
}
$zip->close();
If $valid_files is a glob'd array, use basename() instead of end(), your zip might not actually have added any files causing for it to be an invalid zip (however that would be visible in the size of the zip file).
Also try winrar/winzip/7zip and see what they return, microsoft's internal zip engine might not be up to date enough to open the zips.
I have also encountered this problem, using 7z solved the problem but we need to send the zip to somebody else so 7z is a nono.
I found that, in my case it is that the file path is too long:
When I use this:
$zip->addFile($files_path.'/people.txt');
And it generated a zip folder nested very deep e.g. ["/tmp/something/something1/something2/people.txt"]
So I need to use this instead
$zip->addFile($files_path.'/people.txt', 'people.txt');
Which generate a a zip folder with only 1 layer ["people.txt"], and Windows Zip read perfectly~
Hope this helps somebody that also have this problem!
I'm working on a function that displays recursively the list of files inside a zip file. A zip file inside another zip file could happen and I want to display its contents like a folder.
I have read carefully this question but I'm yet lost. Ideally It will be perfect if I could get the within zip with getStream and send this stream to another ziparchive::open, but I've not had much this way.
Things I have tried (just to test):
Try 1:
$data = file_get_contents('outer.zip');
$data64 = base64_encode($data);
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$r = $zip->open('data::text/plain;base64,'.$data64);
var_dump($r);
if($r){
$zip->close();
}
Try 2:
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$r = $zip->open('zip://outer.zip#inner.zip');
var_dump($r);
if($r){
$zip->close();
}
It will be so slow and bloated if I have to recursively decompress any file to temp just to list the files inside, especially with large files. At this point I'm seeking even shell_exec solutions.
So, I understand it's pretty easy to zip a folder and its contents given that php.net and stackoverflow are full of sample codes. I am trying to zip up a folder as well. This is my code:
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open('myzip.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach (glob("/Volumes/Data/Users/username/Desktop/Archive/some/thisFolder/*") as $file) {
$zip->addFile($file);
}
$zip->close();
My script is running in a folder, say on Desktop, and I want to zip thisFolder and its contents. The above code WORKS. But, the problem is that when I unzip the myzip.zip created, I get a structure like
Volumes>Data>Users>username>Desktop>Archive>some>thisFolder
and then I find the contents inside the 8th folder (thisFolder) in this case. How can I change this code so that when I unzip myzip.zip,I would straightaway see the folder thisFolder with the contents inside it instead of having to navigate through folders 7 times before getting my content?
I tried to change the path and silly things like that. But, it doesn't work.
Thanks
If you want everything in the file to be a name relative to your starting folder, use chdir() to start from there:
chdir("/Volumes/Data/Users/username/Desktop/Archive/some/thisFolder");
foreach (glob("*") as $file) {
$zip->addFile($file);
}
Actually, I don't think this will work when $file is a subdirectory -- addFile doesn't recurse automatically. There's a comment in the documentation that shows how to write a recursive zip function:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.addemptydir.php
bool ZipArchive::addFile ( string $filename [, string $localname ] )
filename
The path to the file to add.
localname
local name inside ZIP archive.
You can use the pathinfo function to each $file in your loop, in order to retrieve the filename without the path, and then, use it as second parameter to the addFile method.
pathinfo doc here
Here is an example that could solve your problem:
// Create your zip archive
$zip = new ZipArchive;
// open it in creation mode
$zip->open('myzip.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE);
// Loop on all your file
$mask = "/Volumes/Data/Users/username/Desktop/Archive/some/thisFolder";
$allAvailableFiles = glob($mask . "/*")
foreach ($allAvailableFiles as $file)
{
// Retrieve pathinfo
$info = pathinfo($file);
// Generate the internal directory
$internalDir = str_replace($mask, "", $info['dirname']);
// Add the file with internal directory
$zip->addFile($file, $internalDir . "/" . $info['basename']);
}
$zip->close();
What I actually wanted to do is read zip file and then if it does contain folder then refuse it with some message.
I want user should upload zip file with files only without any directory structure.
So I want to read zip file contains and check file structure.
I am trying with following code snippet.
$zip = zip_open('/path/to/zipfile');
while($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)){
$filename = zip_entry_name($zip_entry);
//#todo check whether file or folder.
}
I have sorted out.
I am now checking filename as strings wherever I am getting string ending with "/" that am treating as directory else as file.
can't you parse path of $filename? something like $dirName = pathinfo($filename, PATHINFO_DIRNAME)
