<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$zip = new CkZip();

// ...
// ...
$pathInZip = 'example.txt';
$textData = 'This is a test';

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The AppendString method is deprecated:

// entryObj is a CkZipEntry
$entryObj = $zip->AppendString($pathInZip,$textData);
if ($zip->get_LastMethodSuccess() == false) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// ...
// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using AddString.

// Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
$success = $zip->AddString($pathInZip,$textData,'utf-8');
if ($success == false) {
    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.
$ze = new CkZipEntry();
$index = $zip->get_NumEntries() - 1;
$zip->EntryAt($index,$ze);
