The returned XML describes the files currently contained in the ZIP object

PHP Extension

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

$success = false;

// Open an existing ZIP archive.
$zip = new CkZip();

$success = $zip->OpenZip('example.zip');
if ($success == false) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Get the ZIP directory information as XML.
$xml = $zip->getDirectoryAsXML();

print $xml . "\n";

// Suppose the ZIP contains:

// data/config/settings.json
// docs/readme.txt
// images/logo.png

// The XML contains one element for each ZIP entry.
// Example:
// 
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
// <zip_contents>
//     <dir name="data">
//         <dir name="config">
//             <file>settings.json</file>
//         </dir>
//     </dir>
//     <dir name="docs">
//         <file>readme.txt</file>
//     </dir>
//     <dir name="images">
//         <file>logo.png</file>
//     </dir>
// </zip_contents>

$zip->CloseZip();

print 'Done.' . "\n";
