Get ZIP Directory Information as XML

See more Zip Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the GetDirectoryAsXML method to retrieve information about the contents of a ZIP archive as an XML document.

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

PHP Extension

<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$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";
