Challenge in creating zip file in PHP

challenge in creating zip file in PHP

If you want to create a zip file, it is easy. of course, I Know it in PHP. A lot of sources are available, and you can also get help from AI.

For example, this link https://www.php.net/manual/en/zip.examples.php
has some examples of it.

But what is the challenge?
It is vital that we add error handling in our code. because when you try to add a file that does not exist, an Exception occurs.

Look at the code below:

$filePath = '';
$fileName = basename($filePath);
$zip->addFile($filePath, $fileName);

in line 3, If a filePath is not available, an Exception happens.
so we must use try-catch:

try {
  $filePath = ''
  $fileName = basename($filePath);
  $zip->addFile($filePath, $fileName);
} catch (Exception $exception) {
}

or

$filePath = FileManager::getFilePath($fileId);
$name = basename($filePath);
if(trim($filePath) != '') { 
  $zip->addFile($filePath, $relativeNameInZipFile);
}
