Error! Not possible to create the zip file on PHP 5.6! - [Fixed in 3.2.42]

[Makulia]

Hello people!

I have faced the same bug that other people had reported before:

"Error! Not possible to create the zip file.
Please contact the Webmaster."

I have read this topics and there were no real solution:
http://www.jdownloads.com/index.php/support-forum.html?topic=7480.0
http://www.jdownloads.com/index.php/support-forum.html?topic=7270.0

I have to debug Jdownloads and have found something interesting:

Code Select Expand

Warning: ZipArchive::addFile(): Invalid or uninitialized Zip object in /public_html/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/jdownloadshelper.php on line 1964

Warning: ZipArchive::addFile(): Invalid or uninitialized Zip object in /public_html/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/jdownloadshelper.php on line 1964

Warning: ZipArchive::addFile(): Invalid or uninitialized Zip object in /public_html/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/jdownloadshelper.php on line 1964

Warning: ZipArchive::close(): Invalid or uninitialized Zip object in /public_html/components/com_jdownloads/helpers/jdownloadshelper.php on line 1968

Problematic code:
$result = $zip->open($destination, $overwrite ? ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE : ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
It works only with php 5.5.x and, maybe, earlier.

My quick fix for this issue for PHP 5.6 is:
$result = $zip->open($destination, ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);

Thanks for the file but i had meant the information source.

My quick fix for this issue for PHP 5.6 is:
$result = $zip->open($destination, ZipArchive::CREATE | ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);

I need an info whether this fix works for all php versions.

I have tested fix for php 5.3.x, 5.4.x, 5.5.x, 5.6.x. Works with all versions.

Okay, then i will fix it as you have described.

The bugfix is now a part from version 3.2.42 as i had forgotten to implement it in 3.2.41.
Sorry.
