Hi.

I rarely use zip / unzip, but it worked for me as expected. This script creates a structure, zips it, renames the old directory, unzips from the archive, and compares the 2 resulting directory structures:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate zip collection and expansion of directories.

#  ____
# /
# |   Infrastructure BEGIN

echo
set -o nounset

debug=":"
debug="echo"

## The shebang using "env" line is designed for portability. For
#  higher security, use:
#
#  #!/bin/sh -

TREE=tree
TREE=dtree
TREE=tree-sage

## Use local command version for the commands in this demonstration.

set +o nounset
LC_ALL=C ; LANG=C ; export LC_ALL LANG
echo "Environment: LC_ALL = $LC_ALL, LANG = $LANG"
echo "(Versions displayed with local utility \"version\")"
version >/dev/null 2>&1 && version =o $(_eat $0 $1) zip diff
set -o nounset

echo

# Remove and create directory structure.

rm -rf d1 d2 d1.zip old-d1

mkdir -p d1/d2/d3
echo hi >d1/hi-in-d1
echo hi >d1/d2/hi-in-d1-d2
echo hi >d1/d2/d3/hi-in-d1-d2-d3

echo " Directory to be zipped:"
$TREE ./d1

# |   Infrastructure END
# \
#  ---

echo
echo " Results from processing:"
zip -r d1 d1
ls -go d1.zip

echo
echo " Unzipping:"
mv d1 old-d1
unzip d1

echo
echo " Newly unzipped d1:"
$TREE d1

echo
echo " Old d1:"
$TREE old-d1

echo
echo " Comparison of d1 and old-d1:"
CMP="diff -r"
if $CMP d1 old-d1
then
  echo " Directories d1 and old-d1 have the same content."
else
  echo " Directories d1 and old-d1 fail to compare."
fi

exit 0

Producing:

Code:

$ ./s1

Environment: LC_ALL = C, LANG = C
(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
SunOS 5.10
GNU bash 3.00.16
zip - no version provided for /usr/bin/zip.
diff - no version provided for /usr/bin/diff.

 Directory to be zipped:
./d1
/     d2
/     /     d3
/     /     /     hi-in-d1-d2-d3
/     /     hi-in-d1-d2
/     hi-in-d1

 Results from processing:
  adding: d1/ (stored 0%)
  adding: d1/d2/ (stored 0%)
  adding: d1/d2/d3/ (stored 0%)
  adding: d1/d2/d3/hi-in-d1-d2-d3 (stored 0%)
  adding: d1/d2/hi-in-d1-d2 (stored 0%)
  adding: d1/hi-in-d1 (stored 0%)
-rw-r--r--   1     829 Jul 10 10:45 d1.zip

 Unzipping:
Archive:  d1.zip
   creating: d1/
   creating: d1/d2/
   creating: d1/d2/d3/
 extracting: d1/d2/d3/hi-in-d1-d2-d3
 extracting: d1/d2/hi-in-d1-d2
 extracting: d1/hi-in-d1

 Newly unzipped d1:
d1
d2
/     d3
/     /     hi-in-d1-d2-d3
/     hi-in-d1-d2
hi-in-d1

 Old d1:
old-d1
d2
/     d3
/     /     hi-in-d1-d2-d3
/     hi-in-d1-d2
hi-in-d1

 Comparison of d1 and old-d1:
Common subdirectories: d1/d2 and old-d1/d2
Common subdirectories: d1/d2/d3 and old-d1/d2/d3
 Directories d1 and old-d1 have the same content.

Perhaps you can see from this what you should do next. The man pages and small experiments are often the best road to solutions ... cheers, drl

ziparchive.addfile

ZIPARCHIVE.ADDFILE(3)							 1						     ZIPARCHIVE.ADDFILE(3)

ZipArchive::addFile - Adds a file to a ZIP archive from the given path

SYNOPSIS

       bool ZipArchive::addFile NULL (string  $filename, [string  $localname], [int  $start], [int  $length])

DESCRIPTION

	Adds a file to a ZIP archive from a given path.

PARAMETERS

	      o $filename
		- The path to the file to add.

	      o $localname
		- If supplied, this is the local name inside the ZIP archive that will override the $filename.

	      o $start
		- This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive.

	      o $length
		- This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

	This example opens a ZIP file archive test.zip and add the file /path/to/index.txt. as newname.txt.

       Example #1

	      Open and add

	      <?php
	      $zip = new ZipArchive;
	      if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
		  $zip->addFile('/path/to/index.txt', 'newname.txt');
		  $zip->close();
		  echo 'ok';
	      } else {
		  echo 'failed';
	      }
	      ?>

NOTES

       Note

	       When  a	file  is  set to be added to the archive, PHP will lock the file. The lock is only released once the ZipArchive object has
	      been closed, either via ZipArchive::close or the ZipArchive object being destroyed. This may prevent you from being able	to  delete
	      the file being added until after the lock has been released.
