Perl

Transition from Zip.AppendOneFileOrDir to Zip.AddFile

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendOneFileOrDir method calls with AddFile. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

$zip = chilkat::CkZip->new();

# ...
# ...
$localFilePath = "c:/someDir/example.dat";
$saveExtraPath = 0;

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The AppendOneFileOrDir method is deprecated:

# entryObj is a ZipEntry
$entryObj = $zip->AppendOneFileOrDir($localFilePath,$saveExtraPath);
if ($zip->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using AddFile.

# Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
$success = $zip->AddFile($localFilePath,$saveExtraPath);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
# The newly appended entry is the last one.
$ze = chilkat::CkZipEntry->new();
$index = $zip->get_NumEntries() - 1;
$zip->EntryAt($index,$ze);
