Transition from Zip.AppendBd to Zip.AddBd

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendBd method calls with AddBd. PHP ActiveX

<?php

$success = 0;

//  ...
//  ...

$pathInZip = 'example.dat';

$bd = new COM("Chilkat.BinData");
$bd->LoadFile('c:/someDir/example.dat');

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  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,$bd);
if ($zip->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  ...
//  ...

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  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) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

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