I’m trying to retrieve folders name from a zip file.
I wrote this simple function :

<?php
class zipadmin{
    private $filename ;
    private $folder ;
    public function __construct($filename,$folder){
        $this->zip = new ZipArchive;
        $this->file = $filename ;
        $this->folder = $folder ;
    }
    public function listzip(){
    if ($this->zip->open($this->file) == TRUE) {
        $info = $this->zip->statIndex(0);
        $output = str_replace('/','',$info['name']);
        return $output;
        }
    }
}

Problem that if the zip folder contain other files which is not included inside the folders it return all the files names.
I need it to return folders names only and discard any files name.

    You can try to check when $info['crc'] equals to zero.

    class zipadmin{
    
      private $file;
      private $folder;
      private $zip;
    
      public function __construct($filename, $folder) {
        $this->zip = new ZipArchive;
        $this->file = $filename ;
        $this->folder = $folder ;
        }
    
      public function listzip() {
        $res = false;
        if ($this->zip->open($this->folder . $this->file) == TRUE) {
          $i = 0;
          while ($info = $this->zip->statIndex($i)) {
            if ($info['crc'] == 0 && preg_match('#^[^/]*?/$#', $info['name']))
              $res[] = preg_replace('#^([^/]*?)/$#', '$1', $info['name']);
            $i++;
            }
          }
        return $res;
        }
    
    }
    

    Usage example:

    $z = new zipadmin('test.zip', './'); // test.zip in my example is in same folder
    print_r($z->listzip());
    

    Output (array of root-directories only):

    Array
    (
        [0] => folder1
        [1] => folder2
        [2] => folder3
        [3] => folder4
    )
    

    In my test.zip archive I have few files in root directory of archive and 4 directories folder1, folder2, folder3 and folder4with some files and sub-directories inside them. Running method against archive with no folders returns boolean false.

    Update:

    • Fixed regex pattern to match everything before first slash /.
