#  Add a reference to a file on disk to the zip object.
#  (When appending files to a zip, the files are not actually
#  read into memory.  References to the file(s) are added.
#  When WriteZip is called, the referenced files are streamed in

#  The zip object references a single file.
#  Retrieve the entry object...

#  Set the entry's filename to anything you want:
$entry->put_FileName("somethingElse.xml");

#  Note: Internally, the zip component retains the name of
#  the file referenced.  The current setting of the zip entry's
#  FileName property is stored in the .zip when writing.

#  The zip written here will contain somethingElse.xml
