use chilkat();

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

# ...
# ...
$id = 123;

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The GetEntryByID method is deprecated:

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

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using EntryById.
# Your application creates a new, empty ZipEntry object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

$ze = chilkat::CkZipEntry->new();
$success = $zip->EntryById($id,$ze);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
