$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zip_name, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
foreach($files as $file)
{
    $zip->addFile($file);
}

// This example creates a ZIP file archive test.zip and add the file /path/to/index.txt. as newname.txt. 
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open('test.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE);
if ($res === TRUE) {
    $zip->addFile('/path/to/index.txt', 'newname.txt');
    $zip->close();
    echo 'ok';
} else {
    echo 'failed';
