Code updated 2015/04/22.
// 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();
// 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);
}
