    With PHP 5.6+, you may come up with theses errors.

    Warning: Unknown: Cannot destroy the zip context in Unknown on line 0

    Warning: ZipArchive::close(): Can't remove file: No such file or directory in xxxx.php on line xx

    Examples

    Warning: Unknown: Cannot destroy the zip context in Unknown on line 0

    <?php        
        $za     = new ZipArchive;
            $za->open('51-n.com.zip',ZipArchive::CREATE|ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);
    ?>

    Warning: ZipArchive::close(): Can't remove file: No such file or directory in xxxx.php on line xx

    <?php        
        $za     = new ZipArchive;
            $za->open('51-n.com.zip',ZipArchive::CREATE|ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);
            $za->close();
    ?>

    It happens when the zip archive is empty.
    Your zip archive will not be saved on disk unless it has at least one file. What's more, when ZipArchive::OVERWRITE is applied, if there exists a file with the same name, it will be removed after ZipArchive::open() is called.

    So, don't forget to put at least one file to your zip archive.

    <?php        
        $za     = new ZipArchive;
            $za->open('51-n.com.zip',ZipArchive::CREATE|ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);
            $za->addFromString('wuxiancheng.cn.txt','yes');
            $za->close();
    ?>

    A way of zipping files and downloading them thereafter:
    <?php

    $files     = array('image.jpeg','text.txt','music.wav');
    $zipname = 'enter_any_name_for_the_zipped_file.zip';
    $zip = new ZipArchive;
    $zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
    foreach (    $files as $file) {
          $zip->addFile($file);
    }
    $zip->close();

    ///Then download the zipped file.
    header('Content-Type: application/zip');
    header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
    header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
    readfile($zipname);

    The following code can be used to get a list of all the file names in a zip file.

    <?php
    $za     = new ZipArchive();

    $za->open('theZip.zip');

    for(     $i = 0; $i < $za->numFiles; $i++ ){
            $stat = $za->statIndex( $i );
            print_r( basename( $stat['name'] ) . PHP_EOL );
    }

    Read a file from an archive to a variable.
    A warning is printed automatically in case of a CRC32 mismatch, which we capture, so we can print our own error message.

    <?php
    $zip     = new ZipArchive();
    if (    $zip->open('archive.zip')) {
          $fp = $zip->getStream('myfile.txt'); //file inside archive
          if(!$fp)
        die(    "Error: can't get stream to zipped file");
          $stat = $zip->statName('myfile.txt');

          $buf = ""; //file buffer
          ob_start(); //to capture CRC error message
            while (!feof($fp)) {
              $buf .= fread($fp, 2048); //reading more than 2156 bytes seems to disable internal CRC32 verification (bug?)
            }
            $s = ob_get_contents();
          ob_end_clean();
      if(    stripos($s, "CRC error") != FALSE){
        echo     'CRC32 mismatch, current ';
            printf("%08X", crc32($buf)); //current CRC
            echo ', expected ';
            printf("%08X", $stat['crc']); //expected CRC
          }

          fclose($fp);
          $zip->close();
          //Done, unpacked file is stored in $buf
    }
    ?>

    To create a corrupt file, change a byte in a zip file using a hex editor.

    There is a limit withing PHP 5.3.3 (which seems to have been addressed in later versions; 5.3.29 seems ok on a different server).

    If you try to open a zip file with more than 65,535 files in it (in my case it had 237,942 files) then you cannot access the later files. The numFiles property only reports the first 65k files.

    Hi there.
    I just wrote a little function to zip a whole folder while maintaining the dir-structure. I hope it might help someone.

    <?php
    function folderToZip($folder, &$zipFile, $subfolder = null) {
        if (    $zipFile == null) {
                // no resource given, exit
                return false;
        }
            // we check if $folder has a slash at its end, if not, we append one
            $folder .= end(str_split($folder)) == "/" ? "" : "/";
            $subfolder .= end(str_split($subfolder)) == "/" ? "" : "/";
            // we start by going through all files in $folder
            $handle = opendir($folder);
        while (    $f = readdir($handle)) {
            if (    $f != "." && $f != "..") {
                if (    is_file($folder . $f)) {
                        // if we find a file, store it
                    // if we have a subfolder, store it there
                        if ($subfolder != null)
                            $zipFile->addFile($folder . $f, $subfolder . $f);
                    else
                            $zipFile->addFile($folder . $f);
                } elseif (    is_dir($folder . $f)) {
                        // if we find a folder, create a folder in the zip
                        $zipFile->addEmptyDir($f);
                        // and call the function again
                        folderToZip($folder . $f, $zipFile, $f);
                }
            }
        }
    }
    ?>

    Use it like this:
    <?php
    $z     = new ZipArchive();
    $z->open("test.zip", ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
    folderToZip("storeThisFolder", $z);
    $z->close();
    ?>

    Have a good day!

    A modern way to zip a folder recursivly is using the DirectoryIterator. I use this little class:

    <?php
    class MakeZip
    {
      private     ZipArchive $zipArchive;
      private     int $startPathLength; // chars to remove from the start for the stored entity

          public function __construct(
            string $zipArchivename,
        public     readonly string $startPath,
        public     readonly mixed $convert_function,
      )
      {
            $this->zipArchive = new \ZipArchive;
            $this->zipArchive->open($zipArchivename, ZipArchive::CREATE);
            $this->startPathLength = strlen($this-> startPath);

            $this-> zipDir($startPath);
      }
      public function     __destruct()
      {
            $this-> zipArchive-> close();
      }

          /**
       * Add files and sub-directories in a folder to zip file.
       * @param string $folder
       * @param ZipArchive $zipFile
       * @param int $exclusiveLength Number of text to be exclusived from the file path.
       */
          private function zipDir($folder)
      {
        echo     $folder . '<br>' . PHP_EOL;
        foreach (new \    DirectoryIterator($folder) as $f) {
          if (    $f->isDot())
            continue;     //skip . ..
              if ($f->isDir()) {
            if(     $f->getExtension() === 'git') continue; // skip .git folder
                $this-> zipArchive-> addEmptyDir($f->getPathname());
                $this-> zipDir($f->getPathname());

            continue;
          }
          if (    $f->isFile()) {
            if (    $f->getBasename() === basename(__FILE__)) continue; // skip self
                if ($f->getExtension() === 'zip') continue; // skip ZIP files

                $this-> zipArchive ->addFile( substr($f-> getPathname(), $this-> startPathLength) ); // remove './'

                continue;
          }

        }
      }
    }
    ?>

    Which can be used thusly:
    <?php
      $host     = str_replace('.', '_', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
          $date = date('Ymd-His');

          $zip = new \MakeZip("./archiv-$host-$date.zip", './', $convert_function);
      unset(    $zip);
    ?>

    Add encryption or other features in the constructor.

    Important: Due to the natural file size limit of 4GB (~3,6GB to be correct) of zip files, this class will generate corrupt files of the result is larger than 4 GB. Using tar.gz is a proper alternative.

    You can check general purpose flag to test if the zip file is encrypted. Example function below.

    <?php

    /**
    * Check if the file is encrypted
    *
    * Notice: if file doesn't exists or cannot be opened, function
    * also return false.
    *
    * @param string $pathToArchive
    * @return boolean return true if file is encrypted
    */
    function isEncryptedZip( $pathToArchive ) {
            $fp = @fopen( $pathToArchive, 'r' );
            $encrypted = false;
        if (     $fp && fseek( $fp, 6 ) == 0 ) {
                $string = fread( $fp, 2 );
            if (     false !== $string ) {
                    $data = unpack("vgeneral", $string);
                    $encrypted = $data[ 'general' ] & 0x01 ? true : false;
            }
                fclose( $fp );
        }
        return     $encrypted;
    }

    Be wary that there are several algorithms to generate a zip file. I found that Office OpenXML files created with ZipArchive are not recognized by Excel 2007, for example.

    You have to use a different class to zip in this case, such as PclZip.

    How to detect corrupt files with CRC mismatch:

    Creating a corrupt archive for testing is simple - zip some files and change a byte with a hex editor in the resulting ZIP file. Now you can test the file with a ZIP application to learn which file inside the archive is corrupt.

    ZipArchive seems unable to detect broken files. ZipArchive::CHECKCONS doesn't help, only if it's not a ZIP file at all. It happily decompressed corrupt files in my tests and the user downloading the data is not informed.

    You can simply verify on the server for smaller files:
    <?php
    $maxsize     = 1024*1024;
    $z = new ZipArchive;
    $r = $z->open("foo.zip", ZipArchive::CHECKCONS);
    if(    $r !== TRUE)
      die(    'ZIP error when trying to open "foo.zip": '.$r);

    $stat = $z->statName("mybrokenfile.txt");
    if(    $stat['size'] > $maxsize)
      die(    'File too large, decompression denied');
    $s = $z->getStream($file);
    $data = stream_get_contents($s, $maxsize);
    fclose($s);
    if(    $stat['crc'] != crc32($data))
      die(    'File is corrupt!');
    //echo 'File is valid';

    //you may send the file to the client now if you didn't output anything before
    header('Content-Description: File Transfer');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="mybrokenfile.txt"');
    header('Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary');
    header('Content-Length: ' . $stat['size']);
    ob_clean();
    echo     $data;
    $z->close();
    ?>
    If the file shall not be fully decompressed on the server but decompressed while streaming to the client due to it's size, the file transfer already startet and printing an error message later doesn't work. Maybe the best way would be to interrupt the connection before closing the file transfer. The client should be able to detect this as corrupt download.
    On the server side a function is needed, that can calculate the CRC32 on streamed data stepwise.
