Multi-disk means that the archive is split into multiple files which can be put on small storage devices.

Hmm, which method call did return ER_MULTIDISK? ZipArchive::open() or ZipArchive::close(). The latter method is supposed to return a boolean value. (int) TRUE is 1, what is the value of ZipArchive::ER_MULTIDISK. So perhaps just a misinterpretation of the return value? -- Christoph M.
