using zipArchive addFile() will not add image to zip

Question

I\'ve been at this for a while. This actually worked one time, then never again. it simply does not create the zip file. The file does exist.

$zip = new          


        

Answer 1

The ZipArchive::addFile() method accepts the path to the file as its first parameter.

Here, you are using :

$zip->addFile("/trash-icon.png", "/gabage.png");

Which means you are trying to add the /trash-icon.png file to your archive.

Are you sure this file exists ?

Note there is a / at the beginning of that file's path, which indicates it's an absolute path.
Maybe that / should be removed, to use a relative path ?
