PHP Manual

ZipArchive::addGlob

Add files from a directory by glob pattern

Description

bool ZipArchive::addGlob ( string $pattern [, int $flags = 0 [, array $options = array() ]] )

Add files from a directory which match the glob pattern.

Note: For maximum portability, it is recommended to always use forward slashes (/) as directory separator in ZIP filenames.

Parameters

pattern

A glob pattern against which files will be matched.

flags

A bit mask of glob() flags.

options

An associative array of options. Available options are:

  • "add_path"

    Prefix to prepend when translating to the local path of the file within the archive. This is applied after any remove operations defined by the "remove_path" or "remove_all_path" options.

  • "remove_path"

    Prefix to remove from matching file paths before adding to the archive.

  • "remove_all_path"

    TRUE to use the file name only and add to the root of the archive.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
