DESCRIPTION

PARAMETERS
	      o $filename

	      o $localname

	      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.
