    i am trying to zip some files using on server using php_zip.dll ( php zip) by addFile() function. The problem i am facing is when i give addFile() funtion the arguments of the files added to the ziparchive, the argument has "path" like

    "/xampp/htdocs/ads.txt" then the ziparchive is like

    /xammp/htdocs/ads.txt

    rather then just containing ads.txt only.

    how to stop making these folders and directly store the file in archive

    Also i have files at different places on server i want to zip. then numerous folder will be made. Any help

    instead of
    $zip->addFile($path);
    PHP:
    try 
    $zip->addFile($path, basename($path));
    PHP:
