Zip class question - El Forum - 12-16-2009

I'm using the zip class to make a backup of one directly and save the resulting zip file to another. It works great, but maintains the parent directory structure when I just want the files. To illustrate:
Code:
The data to save:
/datastore
/xml
file.xml
another-file.xml
yet-another-file.xml
...
Where to save it:
/datastore
/backups
backup1.zip
backup2.zip
...Downloading and extracting 'backup1.zip' shows the datastore/xml directories and I just want the XML files. Here's the code I've used:
Code:
$this->load->library('zip');
$this->zip->read_dir('./datastore/xml/');
$filename = 'xml-'.date('Y.m.d-H.i.s').'.zip';
$this->zip->archive('./datastore/backups/'.$filename);Do I need to not use read_dir and instead parse the directory and add each XML file individually?
