Add Binary Data to a ZIP Using AddBd

See more Zip Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the AddBd method to add binary data from a BinData object as a file entry within a ZIP archive.

The data is created entirely in memory, added to the ZIP as data/binary.dat, and then written to disk.

Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\BinData;
use Chilkat2\Zip;

// Create a new ZIP archive.
$zip = new Zip();

try {
    $zip->NewZip('inMemoryData.zip');

    // Create a BinData object containing binary content.
    $bd = new BinData();

    // Append some bytes as hexadecimal.
    // The decoded bytes will become the contents of the ZIP entry.
    $bd->AppendEncoded('000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F', 'hex');

    // Add the BinData contents as a file entry within the ZIP.
    // The file will be stored as "data/binary.dat" inside the ZIP archive.
    $zip->AddBd('data/binary.dat', $bd);

    // Write the ZIP archive to disk and close it.
    $zip->WriteZipAndClose();
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

echo "ZIP archive created successfully.\n";
