ZipArchive doesn't make a archive

Question

ZipArchive doen't create archive at all!
I tried:

$zip = new ZipArchive($this->name, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE); $zip = new ZipArchive($this->name, ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE); $zip = new ZipArchive(); $zip->open($this->name, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE); $zip = new ZipArchive(); $zip->open($this->name, ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE);

but all doesn't create an archive and return true!
If I try to creat file with fopen it normally works so it's not a permissions problem

Some ideas?

have you actually tried putting anything into this zip archive? I believe that until you actually attacha file to it, the zip file exists purely in memory only. — Marc B

Make sure to call $zip->close()

Also I can't recall if it creates the file if you don't add anything to it (your question doesn't say whether or not you did that).

+1 It is very important to explicitly close writers/streams; in the case of a ZIP archive there is a checksum that must be added to the end which is why a close (read: "end adding files") is required.
