Package proposal: league/zip

[Peter Ivanov]

Hello,

I have a need to have independent way to create zip archives in pure PHP

I want to propose idea for creation of "league/zip" package that can handle zip archives naively without the need of exe/zip 

Here is some code i am using now https://github.com/Grandt/PHPZip 

[Ben Corlett]

I’m trying to figure the size of an audience who doesn’t have zip support in PHP that couldn’t add it?

In essence, why is this needed?

Thanks :)

most shared hosting don't support it and also they don't support gzip too

that's why i have to use the mentioned package when i distribute software for shared hosting 

it will be nice if we have well maintained package for handling with zips

Flysystem has a ZipArchiveAdapter which makes it easy to work with zip files: https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem-ziparchive/blob/master/src/ZipArchiveAdapter.php  Would that suit your needs or are you looking for something more advanced (dealing with compression levels, splitting archives, etc)?

Hi,

The Flysystem adapter uses ZipArchive and depends on "ext/zip"

That is what i am trying to avoid, the library i am using now https://github.com/Grandt/PHPZip does not depend on "ext/zip", but its not actively maintained

Hey folks,

Just dropping by to say there is absolutely a use case for this. Avoiding PECL extensions and things like ZipArchive (which is not always there) is absolutely an unfortunate reality for CMS developers.

For PyroCMS we had https://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-unzip which was based off of somebody else's code and turned into a code igniter lib (with their permission of course).

The code isn't excellent and it's only half the solution, but it might be a start.

I agree with Phil, there is absolutely need for a userland low-level archiving solution when the extensions are not available.
