ZipArchive::setPassword

(PHP 5 >= 5.6.0, PHP 7, PHP 8, PECL zip >= 1.12.4)

ZipArchive::setPassword — Set the password for the active archive

Description

public ZipArchive::setPassword(string $password): bool

Sets the password for the active archive.

Parameters

password

The password to be used for the archive.

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Notes

Note:

As of PHP 7.2.0 and libzip 1.2.0 the password is used to decompress the archive, and is also the default password for ZipArchive::setEncryptionName() and ZipArchive::setEncryptionIndex(). Formerly, this function only set the password to be used to decompress the archive; it did not turn a non-password-protected ZipArchive into a password-protected ZipArchive.
