Chilkat_9_5_0.ZipEntry PHP ActiveX Reference Documentation

Chilkat_9_5_0.ZipEntry

Current Version: 9.5.0.97

Represents a single file or directory entry within a Chilkat Zip object. A zip entry can be one of 5 types (see the description of the EntryType property below).

Object Creation

$obj = new COM("Chilkat_9_5_0.ZipEntry");

Properties

Comment
string Comment

The comment stored within the Zip for this entry.

top
CompressedLength
int CompressedLength (read-only)

The size in bytes of this entry's file data when compression is applied

top
CompressedLengthStr
string CompressedLengthStr (read-only)

The size in decimal string format of this file when Zip compression is applied.

top
CompressionLevel
int CompressionLevel

The compression level. 0 = no compression, while 9 = maximum compression. The default is 6.

top
CompressionMethod
int CompressionMethod

Set to 0 for no compression, or 8 for the Deflate algorithm. The Deflate algorithm is the default algorithm of the most popular Zip utility programs, such as WinZip

top
Crc
int Crc (read-only)

The CRC for the zip entry. For AES encrypted entries, the CRC value will be 0. (See http://www.winzip.com/aes_info.htm#CRC )

top
DebugLogFilePath
string DebugLogFilePath

If set to a file path, causes each Chilkat method or property call to automatically append it's LastErrorText to the specified log file. The information is appended such that if a hang or crash occurs, it is possible to see the context in which the problem occurred, as well as a history of all Chilkat calls up to the point of the problem. The VerboseLogging property can be set to provide more detailed information.

This property is typically used for debugging the rare cases where a Chilkat method call hangs or generates an exception that halts program execution (i.e. crashes). A hang or crash should generally never happen. The typical causes of a hang are:

  1. a timeout related property was set to 0 to explicitly indicate that an infinite timeout is desired,
  2. the hang is actually a hang within an event callback (i.e. it is a hang within the application code), or
  3. there is an internal problem (bug) in the Chilkat code that causes the hang.

top
EncryptionKeyLen
int EncryptionKeyLen (read-only)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.69

If this entry is AES encrypted, then this property contains the AES key length (128, 192, or 256). If the entry is not AES encrypted, then the value is 0.

top
EntryID
int EntryID (read-only)

A unique ID assigned to the entry while the object is instantiated in memory.

top
EntryType
int EntryType (read-only)

Indicates the origin of the entry. There are three possible values:

  1. Mapped Entry: An entry in an existing Zip file.
  2. File Entry: A file not yet in memory, but referenced. These entries are added by calling AppendFiles, AppendFilesEx, AppendOneFileOrDir, etc.
  3. Data Entry: An entry containing uncompressed data from memory. These entries are added by calling AppendData, AppendString, etc.
  4. Null Entry: An entry that no longer exists in the .zip.
  5. New Directory Entry: A directory entry added by calling AppendNewDir.
When the zip is written by calling WriteZip or WriteToMemory, all of the zip entries are transformed into mapped entries. They become entries that contain the compressed data within the .zip that was just created. (The WriteZip method call effectively writes the zip and then opens it, replacing all of the existing entries with mapped entries.)

top
FileDateTimeStr
string FileDateTimeStr

The local last-modified date/time in RFC822 string format.

top
FileName
string FileName

The file name of the Zip entry.

top
FileNameHex
string FileNameHex (read-only)

A string containing the hex encoded raw filename bytes found in the Zip entry.

top
IsAesEncrypted
bool IsAesEncrypted (read-only)
Introduced in version 9.5.0.69

true if the entry is AES encrypted. This property can only be true for entries already contained in a .zip (i.e. entries obtained from a zip archive that was opened via OpenZip, OpenBd, OpenFromMemory, etc.) The property is false if the entry contained in the zip is not AES encrypted.

top
IsDirectory
bool IsDirectory (read-only)

True if the Zip entry is a directory, false if it is a file.

top
LastBinaryResult
VARIANT LastBinaryResult (read-only)

The binary data returned by the last (binary data returning) method called. Only available if Chilkat.Global.KeepBinaryResult is set to true. This provides a means for obtaining large varbinary results in the SQL Server environment (where limitations exist in getting large amounts of data returned by method calls, but where temp tables can be used for binary properties).

top
LastErrorHtml
string LastErrorHtml (read-only)

Provides information in HTML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorText
string LastErrorText (read-only)

Provides information in plain-text format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastErrorXml
string LastErrorXml (read-only)

Provides information in XML format about the last method/property called. If a method call returns a value indicating failure, or behaves unexpectedly, examine this property to get more information.

top
LastMethodSuccess
bool LastMethodSuccess

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of true indicates success, a value of false indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = true and failure = false.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to true. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

top
LastStringResult
string LastStringResult (read-only)

The string return value of the last (string returning) method called. Only available if Chilkat.Global.KeepStringResult is set to true. This provides a means for obtaining large string results in the SQL Server environment (where limitations exist in getting long strings returned by method calls, but where temp tables can be used for string properties).

top
LastStringResultLen
int LastStringResultLen (read-only)

The length, in characters, of the string contained in the LastStringResult property.

top
TextFlag
bool TextFlag

Controls whether the "text flag" of the internal file attributes for this entry within the zip is set. This is a bit flag that indicates whether the file contents are text or binary. It is for informational use and it is not imperative that this bit flag is accurately set. The ability to set this bit flag is only provided to satisfy certain cases where another application might be sensitive to the flag.

top
UncompressedLength
int UncompressedLength (read-only)

The size in bytes of this entry's file data when uncompressed.

top
UncompressedLengthStr
string UncompressedLengthStr (read-only)

The size in bytes (in decimal string format) of this zip entry's data when uncompressed.

top
VerboseLogging
bool VerboseLogging

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

top
Version
string Version (read-only)

Version of the component/library, such as "9.5.0.94"

Chilkat_9_5_0.Task AppendDataAsync(VARIANT inData)

Creates an asynchronous task to call the AppendData method with the arguments provided. (Async methods are available starting in Chilkat v9.5.0.52.)

Returns null on failure

top
AppendString
bool AppendString(string strContent, string charset)

Appends text data to the zip entry's file contents. The text is appended using the character encoding specified by the charset, which can be "utf-8", "ansi", etc.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

top
AppendStringAsync (1)

top
Copy
VARIANT Copy()

Returns the compressed data as a byte array.

Note: The Copy method can only be called if the zip entry already contains compressed data (i.e. it is a "mapped entry"). This is the case when an existing .zip is opened (from memory or from a file), or after the .zip has been written (by calling WriteZip or WriteToMemory). If a zip entry is created via AppendData, AppendFiles, etc., then it does not yet contain compressed data. When the zip is written, each entry becomes a "mapped entry" (The value of the EntryType property becomes 0.)

Returns null on failure

top
CopyToBase64
string CopyToBase64()

Returns the compressed data as a Base64-encoded string. It is only possible to retrieve the compressed data from a pre-existing .zip that has been opened or after writing the .zip but not closing it.

Note: The CopyToBase64 method can only be called if the zip entry already contains compressed data (i.e. it is a "mapped entry").

Returns null on failure

top
CopyToHex
string CopyToHex()

Returns the compressed data as a hexidecimal encoded string. It is only possible to retrieve the compressed data from a pre-existing .zip that has been opened or after writing the .zip but not closing it.

Note: The CopyToBase64 method can only be called if the zip entry already contains compressed data (i.e. it is a "mapped entry").

Returns null on failure

top
