this code

$source='/testing'; $destination='/test';  $img_dir = array("1", "2"); $arrlength = count($img_dir);      foreach ($img_dir $k => $v) {     zipdata($destination.'/'.$v, $destination.'/img_'.$v.'.zip'); }  function zipdata($source, $destination) {     if (extension_loaded('zip')) {         if (file_exists($source)) {             $zip = new ziparchive();             if ($zip->open($destination, ziparchive::create)) {                 $source = realpath($source);                 if (is_dir($source)) {                     $files = new recursiveiteratoriterator(new recursivedirectoryiterator($source), recursiveiteratoriterator::self_first);                     foreach ($files $file) {                         $file = realpath($file);                         if (is_dir($file)) {                             $zip->addemptydir(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file . '/'));                         } else if (is_file($file)) {                             $zip->addfromstring(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file), file_get_contents($file));                         }                     }                 } else if (is_file($source)) {                     $zip->addfromstring(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));                 }             }             return $zip->close();         }     }     return false; } 

the best way add whole directory tree archive use recursion.

you have nice example in php manual, you're trying write yourself: http://php.net/manual/en/class.ziparchive.php. should check manual first.

it's in first user comment:
