// The AppendString method is deprecated:

// entryObj is a Chilkat.ZipEntry
$entryObj = $zip->AppendString($pathInZip,$textData);
if ($zip->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;

// Do the equivalent using AddString.

// Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.

// The newly appended entry is the last one.
