How to extract zip archive in PHP if file encrypted using setEncryptionName


I have created zip with encryption using setEncryptionName, as follows:

if($zip->open($zip_destination_real,\ZipArchive::CREATE) === TRUE) 
{
  $zip->addFile($filePath_real,'xyz.txt');   
  $zip->setEncryptionName('xyz.txt', \ZipArchive::EM_AES_256, '12345');         
  $zip->close();

}

Now, how to extract this zip file? extractTo function is returning false.

$r = $zip->extractTo($dir_real); var_dump($r);

I use php 7.2

Even when I manually extract the folder it asks for password.I enter 12345 as set, but error pops up , saying Error occured while extracting files.


Solution

  • You didn't set password correctly.

    Zip files with password:

    # Creating new zip object
    $zip = new ZipArchive();
    if ($zip->open('file.zip', ZipArchive::CREATE) === TRUE) {
    
        # Setting password here
        $zip->setPassword('12345');
    
        # Adding some files to zip
        $zip->addFile('some-file.txt');
        $zip->setEncryptionName('some-file.txt', ZipArchive::EM_AES_256);
    
        # Closing instance of zip object
        $zip->close();
    
        exit("Done! Your zip is ready!")
    } else {
        exit("Whoops:( Failed to create zip.");
    }
    

    And unzip like this:

    # Creating new ZipArchive instance
    $zip = new ZipArchive();
    
    # Open file to read
    if ($zip->open('file.zip') === true) {
    
        # Enter your password
        $zip->setPassword('12345');
    
        # Extract files to some destination
        # dirname(__FILE__) sets destination to directory of current file
        $zip->extractTo(dirname(__FILE__));
    
        # Closing instance of zip object
        $zip->close();
    }
