Situation
- I have a .zip file. In this .zip is a folder "dist/", in the folder "dist/" are 2 things: 1) another folder "lib/" 2) a jar-file
- I open the .zip and extract the dist/jar-file. A "new" folder will appear on my disk "dist" with the jar in it
- I open the jar-file with ZipArchive and edit this where needed. Edits are saved by addFromString()
Now comes the crucial part
- I want to re-add the jar-file into the .zip
- I do this by doing $zip->addFile($newdir . 'dist/' . $corefile, 'dist/' . $corefile)
where:
- $newdir is the absolute path to the "new" dist/ folder with the extracted/edited jar-file in, on my local disk
- $corefile is the filename of the extracted/used jar-file
- I want to add the edited jar-file into the dist/ folder inside the zip
What happens
- The jar-file is successfully edited
- No errors are given while adding the jar back into the .zip
- When I open the modified .zip and .jar, nothing is changed.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
--EDIT:
Found the problem.
After I added the edited jar back into the .zip, I emidiatly deleted the jar on my local disk, BEFORE $zip->close() ; the close() obviously didn't work, so, the changes weren't saved.
What did we learn?
close() BEFORE you delete/... any files!
