PEAR zip problems

[Zaggs]

Hi Guys,

I am using the PEAR class "Archive_Zip". However, it doesn't seem to be working correctly. It doesn't seem to be zipping the files I requested- but instead creates a corrupt blank zip file.

Below is the code I am using...also I have attached the PEAR class to this post.

include_once(DIR.'/pear/Zip.php');
            $obj = new Archive_Zip(DIR.'/_dt_backups/site-backup-'.time().'.zip');
            $files = array(DIR.'/add.php');
            if($obj->create($files)) {
                $this->WriteLog("File backup complete");
            } else {
                $this->WriteLog("File backup error");
            } 

Any ideas what could be causing this problem?

I also tried the ZipArchive extension and managed to zip the file, but when I goto extract it I get the following error (in vista):

Windows cannot complete the extraction.
The Compressed (zipped) Folder 'C:\wamp\www\software\versions\working\2.5.1\_dt_backups\test.zip' is invalid.

If you are using PHP 5.+ there is a Reflection API that can be used to debug classes. It is one of the many object tools that follows with PHP 5.+ and is much more advanced than the var_dump function.

If that does not help, the correct place to ask for help is on the pear forum.
