I've been at this for a while. This actually worked one time, then never again. it simply does not create the zip file. The file does exist. 

$zip = new ZipArchive();
$filename = "./test" . time() .".zip";

if ($zip->open($filename, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE) {      
    exit("cannot open <$filename>\n");
}

$thisdir = "$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/zip";
$zip->addFile($thisdir . "/trash-icon.png", "/gabage.png");
echo "numfiles: " . $zip->numFiles . "\n";
echo "status:" . $zip->status . "\n";
$zip->close();

If I add something like 

$zip->addFromString("testfilephp.txt", "#1 This is a test string added as testfilephp.txt.\n");

it creates the zip with the txt file in it.. but a no go for anytype of existing file.
