CLXXXI. Zip File Functions

Introduction

This module enables you to transparently read or write ZIP compressed archives and the files inside them.

Requirements

PHP 4 Bundled

The initial version is bundled in PHP 4 and is available in PECL as version 1.0, see http://pecl.php.net/package/zip. It can only read Zip Archives.

This version uses the functions of the ZZIPlib library by Guido Draheim. You need ZZIPlib version >= 0.10.6.

The newest version is bundled in PHP 5.2.0 or later and available in PECL, as version 1.1.0 or later. It does not require any external library. It can read and write Zip archives when used with PHP 5.1 or later and can only read them when used with PHP4.

Installation

This PECL extension is not bundled with PHP. Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: http://pecl.php.net/package/zip.

Installation on Linux

Installation when bundled with PHP4

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --with-zip[=DIR] configure option, where [DIR] is the prefix of the ZZIPlib library install.

Installation with PECL or bundled with PHP 5.2 or later

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --enable-zip configure option. It does not require any external library.

Note: You can use the PECL version with PHP4. In order to do it you have to disable the bundled Zip extension or recompile PHP without it.

Installation on Windows

Installation when bundled with PHP4

Windows users will enable php_zip.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions. In PHP 4 this DLL resides in the extensions/ directory within the PHP Windows binaries download. You may download this PECL extension DLL from the PHP Downloads page or at http://snaps.php.net/.

Note: Zip support before PHP 4.1.0 is experimental. This section reflects the Zip extension as it exists in PHP 4.1.0 and later.

Installation with PECL or bundled with PHP 5.2 or later

Runtime Configuration

This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.

Resource Types

There are two resource types used in the Zip module. The first one is the Zip directory for the Zip archive, the second Zip Entry for the archive entries.

Predefined Constants

The constants below are defined by this extension, and will only be available when the extension has either been compiled into PHP or dynamically loaded at runtime.

ZipArchive uses class constants. There is three types of constants, Flags (FL_) errors (ER_) or mode (no prefix).

ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE (integer): Create the archive if it does not exist.
ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE (integer): Always start a new archive, this mode will overwrite the file if it already exists.
ZIPARCHIVE::EXCL (integer): Error if archive already exists.
ZIPARCHIVE::CHECKCONS (integer): Perform additional consistency checks on the archive, and error if they fail.
ZIPARCHIVE::FL_NOCASE (integer): Ignore case on name lookup
ZIPARCHIVE::FL_NODIR (integer): Ignore directory component
ZIPARCHIVE::FL_COMPRESSED (integer): Read compressed data
ZIPARCHIVE::FL_UNCHANGED (integer): Use original data, ignoring changes.
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_DEFAULT (integer): better of deflate or store.
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_STORE (integer): stored (uncompressed).
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_SHRINK (integer): shrunk
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_REDUCE_1 (integer): reduced with factor 1
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_REDUCE_2 (integer): reduced with factor 2
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_REDUCE_3 (integer): reduced with factor 3
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_REDUCE_4 (integer): reduced with factor 4
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_IMPLODE (integer): imploded
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_DEFLATE (integer): deflated
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_DEFLATE64 (integer): deflate64
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_PKWARE_IMPLODE (integer): PKWARE imploding
ZIPARCHIVE::CM_BZIP2 (integer): BZIP2 algorithm
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_OK (integer): No error.
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_MULTIDISK (integer): Multi-disk zip archives not supported.
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_RENAME (integer): Renaming temporary file failed.

ZIPARCHIVE::ER_ZIPCLOSED (integer): Containing zip archive was closed
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOENT (integer): No such file.
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_EXISTS (integer): File already exists
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_OPEN (integer): Can't open file
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_TMPOPEN (integer): Failure to create temporary file.
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_ZLIB (integer): Zlib error
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_MEMORY (integer): Memory allocation failure
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_CHANGED (string): Entry has been changed
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_COMPNOTSUPP (integer): Compression method not supported.
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_EOF (integer): Premature EOF

ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOZIP (integer): Not a zip archive
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_INTERNAL (integer): Internal error
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_INCONS (integer): Zip archive inconsistent
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_REMOVE (integer): Can't remove file
ZIPARCHIVE::ER_DELETED (integer): Entry has been deleted

Examples

Example 1. Create a Zip archive


<?php

$zip = new ZipArchive();
$filename = "./test112.zip";

if ($zip->open($filename, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE) {
    exit("cannot open <$filename>\n");
}

$zip->addFromString("testfilephp.txt" . time(), "#1 This is a test string added as testfilephp.txt.\n");
$zip->addFromString("testfilephp2.txt" . time(), "#2 This is a test string added as testfilephp2.txt.\n");
$zip->addFile($thisdir . "/too.php","/testfromfile.php");
echo "numfiles: " . $zip->numFiles . "\n";
echo "status:" . $zip->status . "\n";
$zip->close();
?>

Example 2. Dump the archive details and listing


<?php
$za = new ZipArchive();

$za->open('test_with_comment.zip');
print_r($za);
var_dump($za);
echo "numFiles: " . $za->numFiles . "\n";
echo "status: " . $za->status  . "\n";
echo "statusSys: " . $za->statusSys . "\n";
echo "filename: " . $za->filename . "\n";
echo "comment: " . $za->comment . "\n";

for ($i=0; $i<$za->numFiles;$i++) {
    echo "index: $i\n";
    print_r($za->statIndex($i));
}
echo "numFile:" . $za->numFiles . "\n";
?>

Example 3. Zip stream wrapper, read an OpenOffice meta info


<?php
$reader = new XMLReader();

$reader->open('zip://' . dirname(__FILE__) . '/test.odt#meta.xml');
$odt_meta = array();
while ($reader->read()) {
    if ($reader->nodeType == XMLREADER::ELEMENT) {
        $elm = $reader->name;
    } else {
        if ($reader->nodeType == XMLREADER::END_ELEMENT && $reader->name == 'office:meta') {
            break;
        }
        if (!trim($reader->value)) {
            continue;
        }
        $odt_meta[$elm] = $reader->value;
    }
}
print_r($odt_meta);
?>

This example uses the old API (PHP 4), it opens a ZIP file archive, reads each file in the archive and prints out its contents. The test2.zip archive used in this example is one of the test archives in the ZZIPlib source distribution.

Example 4. Zip Usage Example


<?php

$zip = zip_open("/tmp/test2.zip");

if ($zip) {
    while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {
        echo "Name:               " . zip_entry_name($zip_entry) . "\n";
        echo "Actual Filesize:    " . zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry) . "\n";
        echo "Compressed Size:    " . zip_entry_compressedsize($zip_entry) . "\n";
        echo "Compression Method: " . zip_entry_compressionmethod($zip_entry) . "\n";

        if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry, "r")) {
            echo "File Contents:\n";
            $buf = zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry));
            echo "$buf\n";

            zip_entry_close($zip_entry);
        }
        echo "\n";

    }

    zip_close($zip);

}
?>
