===============

[](#php-compression)

High level classes for creating compressed archives in PHP.

Example
=======

[](#example)

Add entries to an archive:

```
$jar = new ZipArchive('test.zip');
$jar
	->addFile($dir.'/package.json', 'package.json')
	->addFolder($dir.'/scripts',    'scripts')
	->close()
;

```

Iterate entries in an archive:

```
	$zip = new ZipArchive('test.zip');
	foreach ($zip as $entry) {
		echo $entry->getName().PHP_EOL;
	}
	$zip->close();

```

Extract entries from an archive:

```
$zip = new ZipArchive('test.zip');
$zip->extractTo('/tmp'); //all entries
$zip['package.json']->extractTo('/tmp/package.json'); //a single entry
$zip->close();

```
