Zipping 2 directories recursively into the same zip

[listenmirndt]

So this code works fine for zipping up one directory, but the problem is that I have a directory full of directories, and i want to selectively pick out two of these directories and create a zip file out of them...

so i have:

/directory/folder1
/directory/folder2
/directory/folder3
/directory/folder4
/directory/bonusfolder

i want the zip file to create a zip that includes for example, folder1 + bonusfolder in the same zip..

the function below zips a single directory recursively, but i need it to be able to zip 2 directories recursively... any advise would be great 🙂

<?PHP
function Zip($source, $destination)
{
    if (!extension_loaded('zip') || !file_exists($source)) {
        return false;
    }

$zip = new ZipArchive();
if (!$zip->open($destination, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)) {
    return false;
}

$source = str_replace('\\', '/', realpath($source));

if (is_dir($source) === true)
{
    $files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

    foreach ($files as $file)
    {
        $file = str_replace('\\', '/', realpath($file));

        if (is_dir($file) === true)
        {
            $zip->addEmptyDir(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file . '/'));
        }
        else if (is_file($file) === true)
        {
            $zip->addFromString(str_replace($source . '/', '', $file), file_get_contents($file));
        }
    }
}
else if (is_file($source) === true)
{
    $zip->addFromString(basename($source), file_get_contents($source));
}

return $zip->close();
}
?>

may be this might help,

$filesToZip = array('folder1', 'bonusfolder');

$fileName = 'aaa.zip';
$zip = new ZipArchive();					
$zip->open($fileName, ZipArchive::CREATE);

$source = 'directory';
$startZip = false;
if (is_dir($source) === true)
{
	$files = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($source), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

foreach ($files as $file)
{
	if(in_array(basename($file), $filesToZip))
		$startZip = true;
	else
		$startZip = false;

	if($startZip)
	{
		if(is_dir($file))
		{
			$tmpfiles = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($file), RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

			foreach ($tmpfiles as $file)
			{
				if (is_dir($file) === false)
				{			
					$file = str_replace('\\', '/', $file); 						
					$zip->addFile($file, $file);
				}
			}

			unset($tmpfiles);
		}
		else
			$zip->addFile($file, $file);
	}
}
}
$zip->close();
$fileType = 'application/zip';
$downloadFileName = 'aaa.zip';

header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate ('D, d M Y H:i:s', filemtime ($fileName)).' GMT');
header('Cache-Control: private',false);
