<h1>Zip Encoding Class</h1>
|
|
|
60 |
<p>CodeIgniter's Zip Encoding Class classes permit you to create Zip archives. Archives can be downloaded to your
|
|
|
61 |
desktop or saved to a directory.</p>
|
|
|
62 |
|
|
|
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
<h2>Initializing the Class</h2>
|
|
|
65 |
<p>Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the Zip class is initialized in your controller using the <dfn>$this->load->library</dfn> function:</p>
|
|
|
66 |
|
|
|
67 |
<code>$this->load->library('zip');</code>
|
|
|
68 |
<p>Once loaded, the Zip library object will be available using: <dfn>$this->zip</dfn></p>
|
|
|
69 |
|
|
|
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
<h2>Usage Example</h2>
|
|
|
72 |
|
|
|
73 |
<p>This example demonstrates how to compress a file, save it to a folder on your server, and download it to your desktop.</p>
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
<code>
|
|
|
76 |
$name = 'mydata1.txt';<br />
|
|
|
77 |
$data = 'A Data String!';<br />
|
|
|
78 |
<br />
|
|
|
79 |
$this->zip->add_data($name, $data);<br />
|
|
|
80 |
<br />
|
|
|
81 |
// Write the zip file to a folder on your server. Name it "my_backup.zip"<br />
|
|
|
82 |
$this->zip->archive('/path/to/directory/my_backup.zip');
|
|
|
83 |
<br /><br />
|
|
|
84 |
// Download the file to your desktop. Name it "my_backup.zip"<br />
|
|
|
85 |
$this->zip->download('my_backup.zip');
|
|
|
86 |
</code>
|
|
|
87 |
|
|
|
88 |
<h1>Function Reference</h1>
|
|
|
89 |
|
|
|
90 |
<h2>$this->zip->add_data()</h2>
|
|
|
91 |
|
|
|
92 |
<p>Permits you to add data to the Zip archive. The first parameter must contain the name you would like
|
|
|
93 |
given to the file, the second parameter must contain the file data as a string:</p>
|
|
|
94 |
|
|
|
95 |
<code>
|
|
|
96 |
$name = 'my_bio.txt';<br />
|
|
|
97 |
$data = 'I was born in an elevator...';<br />
|
|
|
98 |
<br />
|
|
|
99 |
$this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
|
|
|
100 |
</code>
|
|
|
101 |
|
|
|
102 |
<p>You are allowed multiple calls to this function in order to
|
|
|
103 |
add several files to your archive. Example:</p>
|
|
|
104 |
|
|
|
105 |
<code>
|
|
|
106 |
$name = 'mydata1.txt';<br />
|
|
|
107 |
$data = 'A Data String!';<br />
|
|
|
108 |
$this->zip->add_data($name, $data);<br />
|
|
|
109 |
<br />
|
|
|
110 |
$name = 'mydata2.txt';<br />
|
|
|
111 |
$data = 'Another Data String!';<br />
|
|
|
112 |
$this->zip->add_data($name, $data);<br />
|
|
|
113 |
</code>
|
|
|
114 |
|
|
|
115 |
<p>Or you can pass multiple files using an array:</p>
|
|
|
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
<code>
|
|
|
118 |
$data = array(<br />
|
|
|
119 |
'mydata1.txt' => 'A Data String!',<br />
|
|
|
120 |
'mydata2.txt' => 'Another Data String!'<br />
|
|
|
121 |
);<br />
|
|
|
122 |
<br />
|
|
|
123 |
$this->zip->add_data($data);<br />
|
|
|
124 |
<br />
|
|
|
125 |
$this->zip->download('my_backup.zip');
|
|
|
126 |
</code>
|
|
|
127 |
|
|
|
128 |
<p>If you would like your compressed data organized into sub-folders, include the path as part of the filename:</p>
|
|
|
129 |
|
|
|
130 |
<code>
|
|
|
131 |
$name = '<kbd>personal/</kbd>my_bio.txt';<br />
|
|
|
132 |
$data = 'I was born in an elevator...';<br />
|
|
|
133 |
<br />
|
|
|
134 |
$this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
|
|
|
135 |
</code>
|
|
|
136 |
|
|
|
137 |
<p>The above example will place <dfn>my_bio.txt</dfn> inside a folder called <kbd>personal</kbd>.</p>
|
|
|
138 |
|
|
|
139 |
|
|
|
140 |
<h2>$this->zip->add_dir()</h2>
|
|
|
141 |
|
|
|
142 |
<p>Permits you to add a directory. Usually this function is unnecessary since you can place your data into folders when
|
|
|
143 |
using <dfn>$this->zip->add_data()</dfn>, but if you would like to create an empty folder you can do so. Example:</p>
|
|
|
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
<code>$this->zip->add_dir('myfolder'); // Creates a folder called "myfolder"</code>
|
|
|
146 |
|
|
|
147 |
|
|
|
148 |
|
|
|
149 |
<h2>$this->zip->read_file()</h2>
|
|
|
150 |
|
|
|
151 |
<p>Permits you to compress a file that already exists somewhere on your server. Supply a file path and the zip class will
|
|
|
152 |
read it and add it to the archive:</p>
|
|
|
153 |
|
|
|
154 |
<code>
|
|
|
155 |
$path = '/path/to/photo.jpg';<br /><br />
|
|
|
156 |
$this->zip->read_file($path);
|
|
|
157 |
<br /><br />
|
|
|
158 |
// Download the file to your desktop. Name it "my_backup.zip"<br />
|
|
|
159 |
$this->zip->download('my_backup.zip');
|
|
|
160 |
</code>
|
|
|
161 |
|
|
|
162 |
<p>If you would like the Zip archive to maintain the directory structure of the file in it, pass <kbd>TRUE</kbd> (boolean) in the
|
|
|
163 |
second parameter. Example:</p>
|
|
|
164 |
|
|
|
165 |
|
|
|
166 |
<code>
|
|
|
167 |
$path = '/path/to/photo.jpg';<br /><br />
|
|
|
168 |
$this->zip->read_file($path, <kbd>TRUE</kbd>);
|
|
|
169 |
<br /><br />
|
|
|
170 |
// Download the file to your desktop. Name it "my_backup.zip"<br />
|
|
|
171 |
$this->zip->download('my_backup.zip');
|
|
|
172 |
</code>
|
|
|
173 |
|
|
|
174 |
<p>In the above example, <dfn>photo.jpg</dfn> will be placed inside two folders: <kbd>path/to/</kbd></p>
|
|
|
175 |
|
|
|
176 |
|
|
|
177 |
|
|
|
178 |
<h2>$this->zip->read_dir()</h2>
|
|
|
179 |
|
|
|
180 |
<p>Permits you to compress a folder (and its contents) that already exists somewhere on your server. Supply a file path to the
|
|
|
181 |
directory and the zip class will recursively read it and recreate it as a Zip archive. All files contained within the
|
|
|
182 |
supplied path will be encoded, as will any sub-folders contained within it. Example:</p>
|
|
|
183 |
|
|
|
184 |
<code>
|
|
|
185 |
$path = '/path/to/your/directory/';<br /><br />
|
|
|
186 |
$this->zip->read_dir($path);
|
|
|
187 |
<br /><br />
|
|
|
188 |
// Download the file to your desktop. Name it "my_backup.zip"<br />
|
|
|
189 |
$this->zip->download('my_backup.zip');
|
|
|
190 |
</code>
|
|
|
191 |
|
|
|
192 |
|
|
|
193 |
|
|
|
194 |
|
|
|
195 |
<h2>$this->zip->archive()</h2>
|
|
|
196 |
|
|
|
197 |
<p>Writes the Zip-encoded file to a directory on your server. Submit a valid server path ending in the file name. Make sure the
|
|
|
198 |
directory is writable (666 or 777 is usually OK). Example:</p>
|
|
|
199 |
|
|
|
200 |
<code>$this->zip->archive('/path/to/folder/myarchive.zip'); // Creates a file named myarchive.zip</code>
|
|
|
201 |
|
|
|
202 |
|
|
|
203 |
<h2>$this->zip->download()</h2>
|
|
|
204 |
|
|
|
205 |
<p>Causes the Zip file to be downloaded from your server. The function must be passed the name you would like the zip file called.
|
|
|
206 |
Example:</p>
|
|
|
207 |
|
|
|
208 |
<code>$this->zip->download('latest_stuff.zip'); // File will be named "latest_stuff.zip"</code>
|
|
|
209 |
|
|
|
210 |
<p class="important"><strong>Note:</strong> Do not display any data in the controller in which you call this function since it sends various server headers
|
|
|
211 |
that cause the download to happen and the file to be treated as binary.</p>
|
|
|
212 |
|
|
|
213 |
|
|
|
214 |
<h2>$this->zip->get_zip()</h2>
|
|
|
215 |
|
|
|
216 |
<p>Returns the Zip-compressed file data. Generally you will not need this function unless you want to do something unique with the data.
|
|
|
217 |
Example:</p>
|
|
|
218 |
|
|
|
219 |
<code>
|
|
|
220 |
$name = 'my_bio.txt';<br />
|
|
|
221 |
$data = 'I was born in an elevator...';<br />
|
|
|
222 |
<br />
|
|
|
223 |
$this->zip->add_data($name, $data);<br /><br />
|
|
|
224 |
|
|
|
225 |
$zip_file = $this->zip->get_zip();
|
|
|
226 |
</code>
|
|
|
227 |
|
|
|
228 |
|
|
|
229 |
<h2>$this->zip->clear_data()</h2>
|
|
|
230 |
|
|
|
231 |
<p>The Zip class caches your zip data so that it doesn't need to recompile the Zip archive for each function you use above.
|
|
|
232 |
If, however, you need to create multiple Zips, each with different data, you can clear the cache between calls. Example:</p>
|
|
|
233 |
|
|
|
234 |
<code>
|
|
|
235 |
$name = 'my_bio.txt';<br />
|
|
|
236 |
$data = 'I was born in an elevator...';<br />
|
|
|
237 |
<br />
|
|
|
238 |
$this->zip->add_data($name, $data);<br />
|
|
|
239 |
$zip_file = $this->zip->get_zip();<br />
|
|
|
240 |
<br />
|
|
|
241 |
<kbd>$this->zip->clear_data();</kbd>
|
|
|
242 |
<br /><br />
|
|
|
243 |
|
|
|
244 |
$name = 'photo.jpg';<br />
|
|
|
245 |
$this->zip->read_file("/path/to/photo.jpg"); // Read the file's contents<br />
|
|
|
246 |
<br /><br />
|
|
|
247 |
$this->zip->download('myphotos.zip');
|
|
|
248 |
