Flocke's "Archive on the Fly" is a small set of PHP classes to create
archives of type TAR, TGZ, and ZIP ``on the fly´´.
Simple first steps to create an archive:
1. Include the file for the type of archive you want to create:
require_once("vs.tar.php");
// require_once("vs.tgz.php");
// require_once("vs.zip.php");
2. Create a new object of the respective class:
$arc = new vsTarFile();
// $arc = new vsTgzFile();
// $arc = new vsZipFile();
3. Write the appropriate header, add data to your archive and write it
to the requestor:
$arc->headers("myfilename", "attachment");
$arc->add_file("", ".");
echo $arc->finish();
That's all ;)
There are only a few public properties and functions you will use:
var $symlink;
Specifies how to handle symbolic links. Can be one of the following
constants:
VSARC_SYMLINK_AS_FILE - stores symbolic links as normal files,
adding their content to the archive (default).
VSARC_SYMLINK_OMIT - skips symbolic links, nothing is stored in
the archive.
VSARC_SYMLINK_AS_LINK - stores symbolic links as real links.
function add_file($name, $filename);
Adds a file from disk to the archive. Can handle the following cases:
1. If FILENAME is an array, all its entries are processed
recursively via this function, where the stored filename is
constructed by prefixing the basename with NAME.
2. If FILENAME is a directory, all the files and subdirectories are
added to the archive, prefixing their names by NAME.
3. Otherwise the file FILENAME is added to the archive, using NAME
as its name. In this case, FILENAME could also be an internet
link if you have URL wrappers activated.
"add_file" checks for duplicates and will not add a file that is
already in the archive.
function preflush($minsize = 65536, $maxsize = 0);
The archive class collects it's binary data in a class member
string. This functions returns the archive data that has been
collected so far and can already be written to the client if the
amount of data is larger than $minsize and it will return a maximum
of $maxsize bytes from this data and remove it from the internal
string.
Normally, the archive is completely created in memory and finally
written to the client when it is finished. You can subclass and
override the function "added_one_entry", e.g.:
class MyZipClass extends vsZipFile {
function added_one_entry($ftype) {
echo $arc->preflush();
}
};
Note that this is only useful for TAR and ZIP archives, because
TGZ archives are finally compressed when they are finished.
function finish();
Returns the final archive data that still needs to be written to
the client. This function can only be called once, because after
the call the data is reset.
function mimetype();
Returns the MIME type for the used archive class. This is kind of
a class function.
function fileext();
Returns the default file extension for the used archive class. This
is also kind of a class function.
function get_headers($filename = '', $disposition = '');
Returns the default internet headers as an array, e.g.:
$result['Content-Type'] = 'application/x-zip';
if $filename is not empty, the default extension is added to this
name and a 'Content-Disposition' entry is added to the headers.
$disposition may be 'inline' or 'attachment' with a default value
of 'attachment'.
function headers($filename = '', $disposition = '');
Sends the default internet headers to the client.
The file "vs.unzip.php" contains a class to extract information and data
from ZIP files if (and only if) the content is uncompressed or compressed
compatible to the zlib library.
Just include the file, create a new object of the class and open a ZIP
archive:
$arc = new vsUnzipFile();
$arc->open("MyOwnArchive.zip");
Now you can use the public properties:
var $names; // List with names and indexes
var $directory; // Central directory
var $count; // Number of entries in $names resp. $directory
var $comment; // ZIP file comment
var $errors; // Array with error messages
and the public functions:
function &get_entry($index);
Returns (a reference to) an entry in the central directory. The
index can either be numeric, in this case it is translated with
the $names array, or the filename. The return value is an array
itself containing the following members:
$entry['name'] Filename (directories have a trailing slash)
$entry['gpbf'] ``General purpose bit flag´´
$entry['method'] Compression method
$entry['time'] Timestamp
$entry['crc32'] CRC-32 checksum
$entry['csize'] Compressed size
$entry['osize'] Original (uncompressed) size
$entry['eattr'] External attributes (bit 0x10 for directories)
$entry['offset'] Absolute file offset of local file header
$entry['extra'] Extra data
$entry['data'] If set, the loaded uncompressed data
function &get_data($index);
Returns (a reference to) the entry's data. This is only done once,
so you can call this function 50 times without overhead.
When you're done you just close the archive:
$arc->close();
