Question

I found this great class, all works well except… I spcify the output directory like so:

$outputDir = "/backup/";

But it doesn’t output the zip there, it outputs it on the site root.

This is the link to the class sothat you can check it out 🙂

I appreciate any help!

This is the whole code where I call the class:

include('scripts/zip.php');

$fileToZip = "License.txt"; 
$fileToZip1 = "CreateZipFileMac.inc.php"; 
$fileToZip2 = "CreateZipFile.inc.php"; 

$directoryToZip = "./"; // This will zip all the file(s) in this present working directory 

$outputDir = '/backup/'; //Replace "/" with the name of the desired output directory. 
$zipName = "test.zip"; 

$createZipFile = new CreateZipFile; 

/* 
// Code to Zip a single file 
$createZipFile->addDirectory($outputDir); 
$fileContents=file_get_contents($fileToZip); 
$createZipFile->addFile($fileContents, $outputDir.$fileToZip); 
*/ 

//Code toZip a directory and all its files/subdirectories 
$createZipFile->zipDirectory($directoryToZip,$outputDir); 
$fd=fopen($zipName, "wb"); 
fwrite($fd,$createZipFile->getZippedfile()); 
fclose($fd);

There is no code which can save output file to a directory.
With $outputDir you only define a part of output filename.

If you want to save this file, you have to do it by yourself.
Try to add something like this in demo:

$fs = fopen($outputDir."/".$zipName, "wb");
fwrite($fs, $createZipFile->getZippedfile()); 
fclose($fs);
