Been playing with this for a few hours and it seems that anything but a plain text file (doc,xls,pdf,etc.) is being trashed by ZipArchive. Has anyone had similar experiences or am I just doing something stupid and can't see it? Whatever the problem is, it certainly is silent about it. I thought it may be a permissions thing but that doesn't seem to be it. The one file it doesn't mess up is a plain text file. Anything else gets trashed. -km public function zipAction() { $params = SiteControllers::getParams(); if(!isset($params['file'])) { echo "zip: file param expected - not found"; return false; } $file = $params['file']; if(!file_exists("uploads/{$file}")) { echo "file to zip: {$file} not found"; return false; } $zip = new ZipArchive; $res = $zip->open("uploads/{$file}.zip", ZipArchive::OVERWRITE); if ($res === TRUE) { $zip->addFile("uploads/{$file}","{$file}"); $zip->close(); unlink("uploads/{$file}"); echo "{$file} - was zipped"; return true; } else { echo "{$file} - zip failed"; return false; } } public function unzipAction() { $params = SiteControllers::getParams(); $file = $params['file']; if(!isset($params['file'])) { echo "unzip: file param expected - not found"; return false; } $zfn = "uploads/{$file}.zip"; if(!file_exists($zfn)) { echo "zip file: {$zfn} not found"; return false; } if(file_exists("uploads/{$file}")) { echo "file to unzip: {$file} exists"; return false; } $zip = new ZipArchive; $res = $zip->open($zfn); if ($res === TRUE) { $zip->extractTo("uploads/"); $zip->close(); echo "{$file}: unzipped"; unlink($zfn); return true; } else { echo "unzip for: {$file} failed"; return false; } } -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/zipArchive---corrupting-files--tf3359654.html#a9345356 Sent from the PHP - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
