How to exclude file in php generated zip

php, zip, zlib

Solution

    $exclude = array('themes', 'style.css');

    foreach ($files as $file) {
      if (!in_array($file, $exclude)) {
        $file = str_replace('\\', '/', realpath($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));
        }
      }
    }

Problem

I need to know how to exclude files/folders from php generated zip. Here is my code: ``` public function archiveBackup($name = '', $source = '', $destination = '') { if (!extension_loaded('zip') || !file_exists($source)) { return false; } $zip = new ZipArchive(); if (!$zip->open($destination.$name, 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)); } $zip->close(); return true; } ``` Example: I need to exclude folder "themes" and "style.css" file, how to do that?
