Convert Folder into zip using php

Question

I'm trying to convert a folder into zip using php i found code on the internet and try to use it and it did nothing? so my question is that is there nay extension to do this or library ?

$rootPath = realpath('E:\dir\sub_dir');

// Initialize archive object

// Create recursive directory iterator
/** @var SplFileInfo[] $files */
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open('sub_dir.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);

$files = scandir($rootPath);
unset($files[0], $files[1]);
foreach ($files as $file) {
    $zip->addFile($dir.'\\'.$file);
}
$zip->close(); // enter code here

Yes, you have to add/enable the PHP ZIP extension to properly open or write zip files. After installing this, do make sure that this extension is enabled at .ini.Hope this helps!
