PHP Zipper package using PHP ZipArchive

Today I would like to share a PHP package that I wrote last weekend. This was written to make Zipping processes easily and automatically using PHP ZipArchive. Let’s take a look.

First of all, install the package with composer.

composer require waithaw/phpzipper

After creating Zip Object, you can use the following methods.

include_once "vendor/autoload.php";

use WaiThaw\PhpZipper\Zip;

$zip = new Zip();


These are the example file lists.

$filelists= [
    'D:\testfolder\test1.txt',
    'D:\testfolder\test1folder\test2.txt'
];

$file = 'D:\testfolder\test1.txt';

Creating a Zip file from Single file or multiple files

You can create an archive zip file from single file or multiple files.

1st parameter – output zip path

2nd parameter – a file or files to be zipped

3rd parameter – setting a password

  • Zipping a single file or mutiple files with no password

$zip->createFromFiles('backup.zip', $file);

//OR

$zip->createFromFiles('backup.zip', $filelists);


  • Zipping a single file or mutiple files with password

$zip->createFromFiles('backup.zip', $file ,'password');

//OR

$zip->createFromFiles('backup.zip', $filelists,'password');


Creating a Zip file from a directory including sub directories.

You can archive all files and subfolders in a directory into a zip file.

  • Zipping a directory with no password

$zip->createFromDir('backup.zip','D:\testfolder');

  • Zipping a directory with password

$zip->createFromDir('backup.zip','D:\testfolder','password');

Extracting a simple or password-protected zip file

  • Extracting a simple zip file.

$zip->extractTo('backup.zip','D:\outputpath');

  • Extracting a password-protected zip file

$zip->extractTo('backup.zip','D:\outputpath', 'password');

Downloading zip files

You can download the zip file at once archiving.

$zip->createFromFiles('backup.zip', $file)->download();

$zip>createFromDir('backup.zip','D:\testfolder')->download();


And you can also delete the zip file after downloaded, by passing ‘delete’ string in download() method.

$zip->createFromFiles('backup.zip', $file)->download('delete');

$zip>createFromDir('backup.zip','D:\testfolder')->download('delete');


This is all for now. I will continue to update this package for more features and details.

Hope you enjoy that.
