[PHP] Test a zip file for validity

2003-08-01 Thread Ivo Pletikosic
Hello all,

How do I go about checking if a file is a zip file?

Wrapping the zipinfo utility in php did not help since it does not return an
exit code whether it succeeded or not.

Thanks,

IP

Well if zipinfo returns anything at all it's probably valid. If it
doesn't then it's probably not since it can't read the file properly.

But then again I've never heard of the zipinfo utility so I could be
totally wrong.


Chris.

I'm assuming the zipinfo your talking about is part of the unzip
package. You should use unzip to test the files

unzip -t file.zip

will check the checksum for each file.

'man unzip' for further details.
