ZipArchive::close

PHP function Edit on GitHub ✎

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL zip >= 1.1.0)

Close the active archive (opened or newly created)

Description

ZipArchive::close(): bool

Close opened or created archive and save changes. This method is automatically called at the end of the script.

Note

All modifications to the archive (adding, removing, or renaming entries) are performed in memory and only written to disk when this method is called. As a result, errors related to file system operations (such as permission denied or missing directories) will only surface at close time rather than when the modification methods are called.

If the archive contains no files, the file is completely removed by default (no empty archive is written) according to the value of the ZipArchive::AFL_CREATE_OR_KEEP_FILE_FOR_EMPTY_ARCHIVE global flag.

Parameters Parameters

Return Values

Success
