How to create zip file without path?
Hello,
I have generated a PHP script that creates files needed for EPUB file.
I have a temp directory where these files are created into and then needs to be zipped. The directory structure is:
mimetype
content.opf
index.html
stylesheet.css
toc.ncx
META-INF
META-INF/container.xml
I use the following commands to create the EPUB file:
system ("zip -q0Xj $zipFile mimetype") ;
system ("zip -qXr9Dj $zipFile $myDir/mimetype $myDir/content.opf $myDir/index.html $myDir/stylesheet.css $myDir/toc.ncx $myDir/META-INF $myDir/META-INF/container.xml") ;
The problem is the the "j" option removes the path from all files, but I need the zip file to have all these files in the root of the zip except the META-INF directory and its file containes.xml must be at the root of the zip file.
So how can I create a zip file containing just these files and that one directory without the full path?
Thanks for your help!

Does anyone know of a way to zip the resulting file from a find command?
My approach below finds the file and zips the entire directory path, which is not what I need.
