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

I had similar kind of issue and it was related with the file that I was going to add to the zip archive.

Before adding file to zip archive, it's always better to check if the file exists.

$thisdir = "$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/zip";
if (file_exists($thisdir . "/trash-icon.png")) {
    $zip->addFile($thisdir . "/trash-icon.png", "/gabage.png");
}
