#  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
#  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

$zipPath = "c:/temp/test.zip";

#  Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
$zip->NewZip($zipPath);

#  AddEmpty is used when you wish to add a directory or empty file to the zip
#  such that when the zip is unzipped, the directory will be created
#  even if it contains no files.

$dirFlag = 1;

$zip->AddEmpty($dirFlag,"dirA");
$zip->AddEmpty($dirFlag,"dirB");
$zip->AddEmpty($dirFlag,"dirC");

#  Write the zip, which contains 3 empty directories: dirA, dirB, dirC.
$zip->put_FileName($zipPath);
$success = $zip->WriteZipAndClose();
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
