# The AppendString method is deprecated:

# entryObj is a ZipEntry
$entryObj = $zip->AppendString2($pathInZip,$textData,$charset);

    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";

# Do the equivalent using AddString.

# Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
$success = $zip->AddString($pathInZip,$textData,$charset);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";

# 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);
