Description:
------------
The new function setPassword seems not to work in my environment. The function returns TRUE, however no password is set to the archive.



This was also reported to 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24190502/ziparchivesetpassword-doesnt-set-a-password-to-my-newly-created-file 
for a different PHP 5.6 version on a different operating system.

Test script:
---------------
$zipFilePath = sys_get_temp_dir() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'filename.zip';
$password = 'P455W0RD';
if (file_exists($zipFilePath)) {   unlink($zipFilePath); }
$zipArchive = new ZipArchive();
$zipArchive->open($zipFilePath, ZipArchive::CREATE);
if ($zipArchive->setPassword($password)) { echo 'OK' . PHP_EOL; }
foreach (range(1, 10) as $fileNumber) {
    $zipArchive->addFromString('file' . $fileNumber . '.txt', rand());
}
$zipArchive->close();


Expected result:
----------------
Created ZIP archive should have a password protection, and when opening it on a local machine with WinZIP, the program should ask for the password prior to open the archive.

Actual result:
--------------
When opening the archive with WinZIP, no password is required and you get all contents right away.

same problem here. just installed php 5.6 for this feature on ZipArchive and it doesn't work. how do they add the function setPassword to the public api and official stable docs and don't even test the basic functionality of it > setting a password to a zip...?!

It seems that this method works for extraction of password protected ZIP archives. The creation of password protected archives is not supported and will create normal non-protected archives. I made a comment here: http://php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.setpassword.php

Pre 5.6 this method on decrypted the password. Post 5.6 this is supposed to allow the setting of a password. It clearly does not. This is a totally repeatable bug. And needs to be high priority.

According to the documentation[1] this is not a bug:

| This function only sets the password to be used to decompress the
| archive; it does not turn a non-password-protected ZipArchive
| into a password-protected ZipArchive.

Extending the current behavior has already been filed as request
#67590.
