ZipArchive::addGlob — Add files from a directory by glob pattern

Description

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

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.

  • "flags"

    Bitmask consisting of ZipArchive::FL_OVERWRITE, ZipArchive::FL_ENC_GUESS, ZipArchive::FL_ENC_UTF_8, ZipArchive::FL_ENC_CP437. The behaviour of these constants is described on the ZIP constants page.

  • "comp_method"

    Compression method, one of the ZipArchive::CM_* constants, see ZIP constants page.

  • "comp_flags"

    Compression level.

  • "enc_method"

    Encryption method, one of the ZipArchive::EM_* constants, see ZIP constants page.

  • "enc_password"
