Description:
------------
when using the following code:

zip_open('file_name.zip');

i get the following error:

----------------
Warning: zip_open() [function.zip-open]: Cannot open zip archive file_name.zip in C:\test.php on line 1
----------------

the "zip file" and "php script" are in the same directory

when i put in the full directory of the zip file, such as "C:\file_name.zip", the file is opened and everything works as expected.
i don't think this should be how it works as all other functions (ie, include()) don't need the full directory!

i am using the latest stable version 5.0.3-dev and PECL extensions

Is the script being ran from the same directory as the one where the zip file is?

yes, both the "php" and "zip" files are in the same directory... i completely removed php and got copies of the latest stable version/PECL extensions for Windows, but still the same problem... this problem seems to be running throughout the versions, since i first noticed it a couple of months ago.

it probably means that the working directory is different then you think it is. What does echo getcwd(); output?
 [2004-10-07 01:13 UTC] adamsbarker at hotmail dot com 
This is how i've done it:

- my home directory is "D:\home"
- both "open_zip.php" AND "abc.zip" are in "D:\home"
- zip_open('D:\home\abc.zip');
  - this works perfectly
- zip_open('abc.zip');
  - has this error:
    Warning: zip_open() [function.zip-open]: Cannot open zip archive abc.zip in D:\home\open_zip.php on line 3
  - echo getcwd(); => produces this:
    D:\home


i hope this makes sense :)

I have found the same thing. I have a zip file in the same dir as the zip file, and under Windows XP (PHP 4.3.8) and zip_open() cant open it. When I include the full path from C: etc it works fine. This certainly looks like a bug, at least up to 4.3.8. Can someone try it on later versions to see if the bug has been fixed or not.

i am still having problems using the latest snapshots - so i would have to say it hasn't changed

Adam, thanks for the info. I'm not sure what happens from here. This seems to be a long standing bug, not receiving much attention.

"note: if you are using PHP in module mode, the open_zip function will need an absolute path to the file, because it is not aware of it's whereabouts. this is for win32 at least."

This extension was moved to PECL, please report this bug there if you still can reproduce with the latest version of it.
