PclZip is a library that creates and manage
ZIP formatted archives.
The library defines a class (PclZip).
An object of that class represent a single ZIP archive. The
methods documented in this manual manage the archive.
Please notice that only the public methods are documented and
will be maintained from one version to an other (or the modifications
will be advertised in the release notes). The private internal
methods can be modified without any warning from one version
to an other, they must not be directly used.
PclZip is made by a single file pclzip.lib.php,
which is enough to have the full features of PclZip.
Before version 1.3, PclZip absolutly need two external libraries which
bring the trace and error handling functions for PclZip. Since version
1.3, the trace can still be used, but a specific version of the library
must be used (pclzip-trace.lib.php). The error handling was also integrated
directly inside the main file (see "Handling
errors").
