Description:
------------
When using the zip php functions to extract or read a zip file containing a symbolic link (ex: indx -> /home/myuser/public_html/index.html) it fails to extract the original symbolic link it only returned the link name and it's contents is the symbolic link path.


ln -s /home/myuser/public_html/index.html indx;ls -la 
28672300 lrwxrwxrwx  1 myuser mygroup   35 Sep  6 13:41 indx -> /home/myuser/public_html/index.html

zip -y indx.zip indx;ls -la 
28672300 lrwxrwxrwx  1 myuser mygroup   35 Sep  6 13:41 indx -> /home/myuser/public_html/index.html
28672304 -rw-r--r--  1 myuser mygroup  175 Sep  6 14:50 indx.zip

extracting php code to the indx.zip as following: 


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('indx.zip') === TRUE) {
    $zip->extractTo('/home/myuser/public_html/');
    $zip->close();
    echo 'done';
} else {
    echo 'failed';
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
expected to be extracted as :

indx -> /home/myuser/public_html/index.html

Actual result:
--------------
but actual reslult is :

indx

and the contents of indx is :

/home/myuser/public_html/index.html


Thx for your attention and hope to know if there is a different coding method to zip a symbolic link by php zip functions or the above code was expected to works well?

Also note that when zipping the symbolic link using php code as:

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open('indx.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE);
if ($res === TRUE) {
    $zip->addFile('indx');
    $zip->close();
    echo 'ok';
} else {
    echo 'failed';
}
?>

also the result after extracting indx.zip with the above php extracting code:

indx
