PHP - ZipArchive close returns true despite no files being added












0















I have the following code to create a zip archive. How can I check if the archive was actually created?



When no files are added calling close still returns true?



 $profiles = $profileRepository->getProfiles()->get();

$fileName = time() . '-' . uniqid() . '-' . '.zip';

$filePath = storage_path('app/bulkdownloads/' . $fileName);

$zip = new ZipArchive;

if ($zip->open($filePath, ZipArchive::CREATE) === TRUE) {

foreach($profiles as $profile) {
if (file_exists(storage_path('app/' . $profile->file_path)))
$zip->addFile(storage_path('app/' . $profile->file_path), $profile->name . '-' . $profile->id . '.' . pathinfo($profile->file_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
}

$res = $zip->close();


if ($res == true) {
$newFile = AppFile::create([
"name" => $fileName
"path" => 'bulkdownloads/' . $fileName,
"size" => filesize($filePath),
"mime_type" => mime_content_type($filePath),
]);
}

}

            Each zip operation will return a boolean if it works so you need to check all of them:



            $profiles = $profileRepository->getProfiles()->get();

            $fileName = time() . '-' . uniqid() . '-' . '.zip';

            $filePath = storage_path('app/bulkdownloads/' . $fileName);

            $zip = new ZipArchive;

            if ($zip->open($filePath, ZipArchive::CREATE) === TRUE) {
            $res = true;
            foreach($profiles as $profile) {
            if (file_exists(storage_path('app/' . $profile->file_path)))
            $res = $res && $zip->addFile(storage_path('app/' . $profile->file_path), $profile->name . '-' . $profile->id . '.' . pathinfo($profile->file_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
            else
            $res = false;
            }

            $res = $res && $zip->close();


            if ($res == true) {
            $newFile = AppFile::create([
            "name" => $fileName
            "path" => 'bulkdownloads/' . $fileName,
            "size" => filesize($filePath),
            "mime_type" => mime_content_type($filePath),
            ]);
            }

                    • this won't work because $res is always true if no files are added.

                    Each zip operation will return a boolean if it works so you need to check all of them:



                    $profiles = $profileRepository->getProfiles()->get();

                    $fileName = time() . '-' . uniqid() . '-' . '.zip';

                    $filePath = storage_path('app/bulkdownloads/' . $fileName);

                    $zip = new ZipArchive;

                    if ($zip->open($filePath, ZipArchive::CREATE) === TRUE) {
                    $res = true;
                    foreach($profiles as $profile) {
                    if (file_exists(storage_path('app/' . $profile->file_path)))
                    $res = $res && $zip->addFile(storage_path('app/' . $profile->file_path), $profile->name . '-' . $profile->id . '.' . pathinfo($profile->file_path, PATHINFO_EXTENSION));
                    else
                    $res = false;
                    }

                    $res = $res && $zip->close();


                    if ($res == true) {
                    $newFile = AppFile::create([
                    "name" => $fileName
