I have found here at stackoveflow some code on how to ZIP a specific file, but how about a specific folder?

Folder/
  index.html
  picture.jpg
  important.txt

inside in My Folder, there are files. after zipping the My Folder, i also want to delet开发者_如何学编程e the whole content of the folder except important.txt.

Found this here at stack

Code updated 2015/04/22.

Zip a whole folder:

// Get real path for our folder
$rootPath = realpath('folder-to-zip');

// Initialize archive object
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open('file.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);

// Create recursive directory iterator
/** @var SplFileInfo[] $files */
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
    new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($rootPath),
    RecursiveIteratorIterator::LEAVES_ONLY
);

foreach ($files as $name => $file)
{
    // Skip directories (they would be added automatically)
    if (!$file->isDir())
    {
        // Get real and relative path for current file
        $filePath = $file->getRealPath();
        $relativePath = substr($filePath, strlen($rootPath) + 1);

        // Add current file to archive
        $zip->addFile($filePath, $relativePath);
    }
}

// Zip archive will be created only after closing object
$zip->close();

Zip a whole folder + delete all files except "important.txt":

// Get real path for our folder
$rootPath = realpath('folder-to-zip');

// Initialize archive object
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open('file.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);

// Initialize empty "delete list"
$filesToDelete = array();

// Create recursive directory iterator
/** @var SplFileInfo[] $files */
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
    new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($rootPath),
    RecursiveIteratorIterator::LEAVES_ONLY
);

foreach ($files as $name => $file)
{
    // Skip directories (they would be added automatically)
    if (!$file->isDir())
    {
        // Get real and relative path for current file
        $filePath = $file->getRealPath();
        $relativePath = substr($filePath, strlen($rootPath) + 1);

        // Add current file to archive
        $zip->addFile($filePath, $relativePath);

        // Add current file to "delete list"
        // delete it later cause ZipArchive create archive only after calling close function and ZipArchive lock files until archive created)
        if ($file->getFilename() != 'important.txt')
        {
            $filesToDelete[] = $filePath;
        }
    }
}

// Zip archive will be created only after closing object
$zip->close();

// Delete all files from "delete list"
foreach ($filesToDelete as $file)
{
    unlink($file);
}

There is a useful undocumented method in the ZipArchive class: addGlob();

$zipFile = "./testZip.zip";
$zipArchive = new ZipArchive();

if ($zipArchive->open($zipFile, (ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE)) !== true)
    die("Failed to create archive\n");

$zipArchive->addGlob("./*.txt");
if ($zipArchive->status != ZIPARCHIVE::ER_OK)
    echo "Failed to write files to zip\n";

$zipArchive->close();

Now documented at: www.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.addglob.php

I assume this is running on a server where the zip application is in the search path. Should be true for all unix-based and I guess most windows-based servers.

exec('zip -r archive.zip "My folder"');
unlink('My\ folder/index.html');
unlink('My\ folder/picture.jpg');

The archive will reside in archive.zip afterwards. Keep in mind that blanks in file or folder names are a common cause of errors and should be avoided where possible.

Try this:

$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open('myzip.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach (glob("target_folder/*") as $file) {
    $zip->addFile($file);
    if ($file != 'target_folder/important.txt') unlink($file);
}
$zip->close();

This will not zip recursively though.

I tried with the code below and it is working. The code is self explanatory, please let me know if you have any questions.

<?php
class FlxZipArchive extends ZipArchive 
{
 public function addDir($location, $name) 
 {
       $this->addEmptyDir($name);
       $this->addDirDo($location, $name);
 } 
 private function addDirDo($location, $name) 
 {
    $name .= '/';
    $location .= '/';
    $dir = opendir ($location);
    while ($file = readdir($dir))
    {
        if ($file == '.' || $file == '..') continue;
        $do = (filetype( $location . $file) == 'dir') ? 'addDir' : 'addFile';
        $this->$do($location . $file, $name . $file);
    }
 } 
}
?>

<?php
$the_folder = '/path/to/folder/to/be/zipped';
$zip_file_name = '/path/to/zip/archive.zip';
$za = new FlxZipArchive;
$res = $za->open($zip_file_name, ZipArchive::CREATE);
if($res === TRUE) 
{
    $za->addDir($the_folder, basename($the_folder));
    $za->close();
}
else{
echo 'Could not create a zip archive';
}
?>

This is a function that zips a whole folder and its contents in to a zip file and you can use it simple like this :

addzip ("path/folder/" , "/path2/folder.zip" );

function :

// compress all files in the source directory to destination directory 
    function create_zip($files = array(), $dest = '', $overwrite = false) {
    if (file_exists($dest) && !$overwrite) {
        return false;
    }
    if (($files)) {
        $zip = new ZipArchive();
        if ($zip->open($dest, $overwrite ? ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE : ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) !== true) {
            return false;
        }
        foreach ($files as $file) {
            $zip->addFile($file, $file);
        }
        $zip->close();
        return file_exists($dest);
    } else {
        return false;
    }
}

function addzip($source, $destination) {
    $files_to_zip = glob($source . '/*');
    create_zip($files_to_zip, $destination);
    echo "done";
}

Use this function:

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 . '/', '', $file . '/'));
            } elseif (is_file($file) === true) {
                $zip->addFromString(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file), file_get_contents($file));
            }
        }
    } elseif (is_file($source) === true) {
        $zip->addFromString(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));
    }

    return $zip->close();
}

Example use:

zip('/folder/to/compress/', './compressed.zip');

Why not Try EFS PhP-ZiP MultiVolume Script ... I zipped and transferred hundreds of gigs and millions of files ... ssh is needed to effectively create archives.

But i belive that resulting files can be used with exec directly from php:

exec('zip -r backup-2013-03-30_0 . -i@backup-2013-03-30_0.txt');

I do not know if it works. I have not tried ...

"the secret" is that the execution time for archiving should not exceed the time allowed for execution of PHP code.

This is a working example of making ZIPs in PHP:

$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip_name = time().".zip"; // Zip name
$zip->open($zip_name,  ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($files as $file) {
  echo $path = "uploadpdf/".$file;
  if(file_exists($path)){
  $zip->addFromString(basename($path),  file_get_contents($path));---This is main function  
  }
  else{
   echo"file does not exist";
  }
}
$zip->close();

This will resolve your issue. Please try it.

$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open('testPDFZip.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach (glob(APPLICATION_PATH."pages/recruitment/uploads/test_pdf_folder/*") as $file) {
    $new_filename = end(explode("/",$file));
    $zip->addFile($file,"emp/".$new_filename);
}           
$zip->close();

I found this post in google as the second top result, first was using exec :(

Anyway, while this did not suite my needs exactly.. I decided to post an answer for others with my quick but extended version of this.

SCRIPT FEATURES

• Backup file naming day by day, PREFIX-YYYY-MM-DD-POSTFIX.EXTENSION
• File Reporting / Missing
• Previous Backups Listing
• Does not zip / include previous backups ;)
• Works on windows/linux

Anyway, onto the script.. While it may look like a lot.. Remember there is excess in here.. So feel free to delete the reporting sections as needed...

Also it may look messy as well and certain things could be cleaned up easily... So dont comment about it, its just a quick script with basic comments thrown in.. NOT FOR LIVE USE.. But easy to clean up for live use!

In this example, it is run from a directory that is inside of the root www / public_html folder.. So only needs to travel up one folder to get to the root.

<?php
    // DIRECTORY WE WANT TO BACKUP
    $pathBase = '../';  // Relate Path

    // ZIP FILE NAMING ... This currently is equal to = sitename_www_YYYY_MM_DD_backup.zip 
    $zipPREFIX = "sitename_www";
    $zipDATING = '_' . date('Y_m_d') . '_';
    $zipPOSTFIX = "backup";
    $zipEXTENSION = ".zip";

    // SHOW PHP ERRORS... REMOVE/CHANGE FOR LIVE USE

WHAT DOES IT DO??

It will simply zip the complete contents of the variable $pathBase and store the zip in that same folder. It does a simple detection for previous backups and skips them.

CRON BACKUP

This script i've just tested on linux and worked fine from a cron job with using an absolute url for the pathBase.

Use this is working fine.

$dir = '/Folder/';
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$res = $zip->open(trim($dir, "/") . '.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);
if ($res === TRUE) {
    foreach (glob($dir . '*') as $file) {
        $zip->addFile($file, basename($file));
    }
    $zip->close();
} else {
    echo 'Failed to create to zip. Error: ' . $res;
}

Create a zip folder in PHP.

Zip create method

   public function zip_creation($source, $destination){
    $dir = opendir($source);
    $result = ($dir === false ? false : true);

    if ($result !== false) {

        
        $rootPath = realpath($source);
         
        // Initialize archive object
        $zip = new ZipArchive();
        $zipfilename = $destination.".zip";
        $zip->open($zipfilename, ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE );
         
        // Create recursive directory iterator
        /** @var SplFileInfo[] $files */
        $files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($rootPath), RecursiveIteratorIterator::LEAVES_ONLY);
         
        foreach ($files as $name => $file)
        {
            // Skip directories (they would be added automatically)
            if (!$file->isDir())
            {
                // Get real and relative path for current file
                $filePath = $file->getRealPath();
                $relativePath = substr($filePath, strlen($rootPath) + 1);
         
                // Add current file to archive
                $zip->addFile($filePath, $relativePath);
            }
        }
         
        // Zip archive will be created only after closing object
        $zip->close();
        
        return TRUE;
    } else {
        return FALSE;
    }


}

Call the zip method

$source = $source_directory;
$destination = $destination_directory;
$zipcreation = $this->zip_creation($source, $destination);

If you have subfolders and you want to preserve the structure of the folder do this:

$zip = new \ZipArchive();
$fileName = "my-package.zip";
if ($zip->open(public_path($fileName), \ZipArchive::CREATE) === true)
{
    $files = \Illuminate\Support\Facades\File::allFiles(
        public_path('/MY_FOLDER_PATH/')
    );

    foreach ($files as $file) {
        $zip->addFile($file->getPathname(), $file->getRelativePathname());
    }

    $zip->close();
    return response()
        ->download(public_path($fileName))
        ->deleteFileAfterSend(true);
}

deleteFileAfterSend(true) to delete the file my-package.zip from the server.

Don't forget to change /MY_FOLDER_PATH/ with the path of your folder that you want to download.

I did some small improvement in the script.

  <?php
    $directory = "./";
    //create zip object
    $zip = new ZipArchive();
    $zip_name = time().".zip";
    $zip->open($zip_name,  ZipArchive::CREATE);
    $files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
        new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($directory),
        RecursiveIteratorIterator::LEAVES_ONLY
    );
    foreach ($files as $file) {
        $path = $file->getRealPath();
        //check file permission
        if(fileperms($path)!="16895"){
            $zip->addFromString(basename($path),  file_get_contents($path)) ;
            echo "<span style='color:green;'>{$path} is added to zip file.<br /></span> " ;
        }
        else{
            echo"<span style='color:red;'>{$path} location could not be added to zip<br /></span>";
        }
    }
    $zip->close();
    ?>

For anyone reading this post and looking for a why to zip the files using addFile instead of addFromString, that does not zip the files with their absolute path (just zips the files and nothing else), see my question and answer here

includes all sub-folders:

new GoodZipArchive('path/to/input/folder',    'path/to/output_zip_file.zip') ;

Here is source-code (there might have been an update, but below I put the copy of that code):

class GoodZipArchive extends ZipArchive 
{
    public function __construct($a=false, $b=false) { $this->create_func($a, $b);  }
    
    public function create_func($input_folder=false, $output_zip_file=false)
    {
        if($input_folder !== false && $output_zip_file !== false)
        {
            $res = $this->open($output_zip_file, ZipArchive::CREATE);
            if($res === TRUE)   { $this->addDir($input_folder, basename($input_folder)); $this->close(); }
            else                { echo 'Could not create a zip archive. Contact Admin.'; }
        }
    }
    
    // Add a Dir with Files and Subdirs to the archive
    public function addDir($location, $name) {
        $this->addEmptyDir($name);
        $this->addDirDo($location, $name);
    }

    // Add Files & Dirs to archive 
    private function addDirDo($location, $name) {
        $name .= '/';         $location .= '/';
        // Read all Files in Dir
        $dir = opendir ($location);
        while ($file = readdir($dir))    {
            if ($file == '.' || $file == '..') continue;
          // Rekursiv, If dir: GoodZipArchive::addDir(), else ::File();
            $do = (filetype( $location . $file) == 'dir') ? 'addDir' : 'addFile';
            $this->$do($location . $file, $name . $file);
        }
    } 
}

If you are sure you are doing everything correctly and it is still not working. Check your PHP (user) permissions.

My 2 cents :

class compressor {
    
        /**
         * public static $NOT_COMPRESS
         * use: compressor::$NOT_COMPRESS
         * no compress thoses files for upload
         */

This is the best solution for me which is working fine in my Codecanyon project and well tested.

/** @var SplFileInfo[] $files */
$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
    new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($rootPath),

        $relativePath = substr($filePath, strlen($rootPath) + 1);

        // Add current file to archive
        $zip->addFile($filePath, $relativePath);
    }
}

// Zip archive will be created only after closing object
