Download multiple files with php ZipArchive

I tried to use ZipArchive to download multiple files with this code recommended in this post

$files = array('readme.txt', 'test.html', 'image.gif');
$zipname = 'file.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open($zipname, ZipArchive::CREATE);
foreach ($files as $file) {
  $zip->addFile($file);
}
$zip->close();

header('Content-Type: application/zip');
header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename='.$zipname);
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize($zipname));
readfile($zipname);

But it didn't work. Yes, it did create a zip-file but when I tried to extract it I got message that the archive is not readable and the archive may not be valid or its table of content could be encrypted. What's wrong?

Can you check the return value of $zip->open? .. see docs. - codedge
The return value is true - Marianne_CM8
No I solved that the problem was the last 4 rows. Instead of that I used header('location: /' . $zipname); and it worked fine! - Marianne_CM8
You should post this as an answer and accept it so others can see that your problem was solved, especially if you solved it yourself :) - codedge
