-$this->zip->add_data()
-=======================
+.. class:: CI_Zip
-Permits you to add data to the Zip archive. The first parameter must
-contain the name you would like given to the file, the second parameter
-must contain the file data as a string::
+ .. method:: add_data($filepath[, $data = NULL])
- $name = 'my_bio.txt';
- $data = 'I was born in an elevator...';
+ :param mixed $filepath: a single file path or an array of file => data pairs
+ :param array $data: single file contents
+ :returns: void
- $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
+ Adds data to the Zip archive. Can work both in single and multiple files mode.
-You are allowed multiple calls to this function in order to add several
-files to your archive. Example::
+ When adding a single file, the first parameter must contain the name you would like given to the file and the second must contain the file contents::
- $name = 'mydata1.txt';
- $data = 'A Data String!';
- $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
+ $name = 'mydata1.txt';
+ $data = 'A Data String!';
+ $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
- $name = 'mydata2.txt';
- $data = 'Another Data String!';
- $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
+ $name = 'mydata2.txt';
+ $data = 'Another Data String!';
+ $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
+
+ When adding multiple files, the first parameter must contain *file => contents* pairs and the second parameter is ignored::
-Or you can pass multiple files using an array::
+ $data = array(
+ 'mydata1.txt' => 'A Data String!',
+ 'mydata2.txt' => 'Another Data String!'
+ );
- $data = array(
- 'mydata1.txt' => 'A Data String!',
- 'mydata2.txt' => 'Another Data String!'
- );
+ $this->zip->add_data($data);
- $this->zip->add_data($data);
+ If you would like your compressed data organized into sub-directories, simply include the path as part of the filename(s)::
- $this->zip->download('my_backup.zip');
+ $name = 'personal/my_bio.txt';
+ $data = 'I was born in an elevator...';
-If you would like your compressed data organized into sub-folders,
-include the path as part of the filename::
+ $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
- $name = 'personal/my_bio.txt';
- $data = 'I was born in an elevator...';
+ The above example will place my_bio.txt inside a folder called personal.
- $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
+ .. method:: add_dir($directory)
-The above example will place my_bio.txt inside a folder called
-personal.
+ :param mixed $directory: string directory name or an array of multiple directories
+ :returns: void
-$this->zip->add_dir()
-======================
+ Permits you to add a directory. Usually this method is unnecessary since you can place your data into directories when using
+ ``$this->zip->add_data()``, but if you would like to create an empty directory you can do so::

-server. Supply a file path and the zip class will read it and add it to
-the archive::

-In the above example, photo.jpg will be placed inside two folders:

-$this->zip->read_dir()
-=======================
+ .. method:: read_dir($path[, $preserve_filepath = TRUE[, $root_path = NULL]])
-Permits you to compress a folder (and its contents) that already exists
-somewhere on your server. Supply a file path to the directory and the
-zip class will recursively read it and recreate it as a Zip archive. All
-files contained within the supplied path will be encoded, as will any
-sub-folders contained within it. Example::
+ :param string $path: path to directory
+ :param bool $preserve_filepath: whether to maintain the original path
+ :param string $root_path: part of the path to exclude from the archive directory
+ :returns: bool
- $path = '/path/to/your/directory/';
+ Permits you to compress a directory (and its contents) that already exists somewhere on your server.
+ Supply a path to the directory and the zip class will recursively read and recreate it as a Zip archive.
+ All files contained within the supplied path will be encoded, as will any sub-directories contained within it. Example::
- $this->zip->read_dir($path);
+ $path = '/path/to/your/directory/';
- // Download the file to your desktop. Name it "my_backup.zip"
- $this->zip->download('my_backup.zip');
+ $this->zip->read_dir($path);
-By default the Zip archive will place all directories listed in the
-first parameter inside the zip. If you want the tree preceding the
-target folder to be ignored you can pass FALSE (boolean) in the second
-parameter. Example::
+ // Download the file to your desktop. Name it "my_backup.zip"
+ $this->zip->download('my_backup.zip');
- $path = '/path/to/your/directory/';
+ By default the Zip archive will place all directories listed in the first parameter inside the zip.
+ If you want the tree preceding the target directory to be ignored you can pass FALSE (boolean) in the second parameter. Example::
- $this->zip->read_dir($path, FALSE);
+ $path = '/path/to/your/directory/';
-This will create a ZIP with the folder "directory" inside, then all
-sub-folders stored correctly inside that, but will not include the
-folders /path/to/your.
+ $this->zip->read_dir($path, FALSE);
-$this->zip->archive()
-=====================
+ This will create a ZIP with a directory named "directory" inside, then all sub-directories stored correctly inside that, but will not include the
+ */path/to/your* part of the path.
-Writes the Zip-encoded file to a directory on your server. Submit a
-valid server path ending in the file name. Make sure the directory is
-writable (666 or 777 is usually OK). Example::
+ .. method:: archive($filepath)
- $this->zip->archive('/path/to/folder/myarchive.zip'); // Creates a file named myarchive.zip
+ :param string $filepath: path to target zip archive
+ :returns: bool
-$this->zip->download()
-======================
+ Writes the Zip-encoded file to a directory on your server. Submit a valid server path ending in the file name.
+ Make sure the directory is writable (660 or 666 is usually OK). Example::
-Causes the Zip file to be downloaded from your server. The function must
-be passed the name you would like the zip file called. Example::
+ $this->zip->archive('/path/to/folder/myarchive.zip'); // Creates a file named myarchive.zip
- $this->zip->download('latest_stuff.zip'); // File will be named "latest_stuff.zip"
+ .. method:: download($filename = 'backup.zip')
-.. note:: Do not display any data in the controller in which you call
- this function since it sends various server headers that cause the
- download to happen and the file to be treated as binary.
+ :param string $filename: the archive file name
+ :returns: void
-$this->zip->get_zip()
-======================
+ Causes the Zip file to be downloaded from your server. You must pass the name you would like the zip file called. Example::
-Returns the Zip-compressed file data. Generally you will not need this
-function unless you want to do something unique with the data. Example::
+ $this->zip->download('latest_stuff.zip'); // File will be named "latest_stuff.zip"
- $name = 'my_bio.txt';
- $data = 'I was born in an elevator...';
+ .. note:: Do not display any data in the controller in which you call
+ this method since it sends various server headers that cause the
+ download to happen and the file to be treated as binary.
- $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
+ .. method:: get_zip()
- $zip_file = $this->zip->get_zip();
+ :returns: string
-$this->zip->clear_data()
-=========================
+ Returns the Zip-compressed file data. Generally you will not need this method unless you want to do something unique with the data. Example::
-The Zip class caches your zip data so that it doesn't need to recompile
-the Zip archive for each function you use above. If, however, you need
-to create multiple Zips, each with different data, you can clear the
-cache between calls. Example::
+ $name = 'my_bio.txt';
+ $data = 'I was born in an elevator...';
- $name = 'my_bio.txt';
- $data = 'I was born in an elevator...';
+ $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
- $this->zip->add_data($name, $data);
- $zip_file = $this->zip->get_zip();
+ $zip_file = $this->zip->get_zip();
+
