// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The AppendBd method is deprecated:
// AppendBd returns the zip entry object, which is usually not needed.

// entryObj is a Chilkat.ZipEntry
$entryObj = $zip->AppendBd($pathInZip,$bd);

    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";

// Do the equivalent using AddBd.

// Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
$success = $zip->AddBd($pathInZip,$bd);
if ($success == 0) {

// Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
// The newly appended entry is the last one.
