create zip file in codeigniter

Question

I want to create zip file using codeigniter
here is my code

$this->zip->read_dir($path, FALSE);
$this->zip->archive($path . '.zip'); 

Code is creating zip file properly. But when I extract zip, files are inside the folder.

Here is my folder structure

config
   /abc.xml
   /index.html
   /images
        /logo.png
   /data

When I try to compress config folder, while extracting new config folder created. Is there any way to compress only files and folder which are inside config folder?

You could, by reading the directory yourself and after that invoking $this->zip->read_file() on each separate file. Something along these lines (not tested):

$files = array();
if ($handle = opendir($path)) {
    /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */
    while (false !== ($entry = readdir($handle))) {
        if (!is_dir($entry)) {
            $files[] = $entry;
        }
    }

    closedir($handle);
}

foreach($files as $file) {
    $this->zip->read_file($file);
}
