Further to what rickky at gmail dot com was saying, I've had that problem while trying to cache zip files and found that I had to set the permissions of the containing folder to 777 to get it to work.
Because this is a potential security weakness if on a public viewable folder, I'd recommend moving the folder so that it is no longer within public_html. You can then use readfile() to output the archive to the browser, with some HTTP headers to tell the browser it is a zip file.

to anyone getting an error ZIPARCHIVE::ER_READ = 5, when
doing $zip->open($zipfile) with a ZIP file containing a total of more then (around) 800 files (even when they are in sub-directories).
possibly related bugs 40873, 8714:
1. it was not an OS limit, because it worked when called from windows via samba on the same file at the same place
2. it wasn't working under 32bit linux
with php 5.3.0 the issue seems to be resolved.

With php 5.2.6, the following code created a new zip or replaced a existing zip.
Note that I am only using the ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE flag.
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$opened = $zip->open( $zipFileName, ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE );
if( $opened !== true ){
die("cannot open {$zipFileName} for writing.");
}
$zip->addFromString( $name, $contents );
$zip->close();
?>
Now, with php 5.2.8, it does not work and gives this warning:
Warning: ZipArchive::addFromString() [ziparchive.addfromstring]: Invalid or unitialized Zip object in [myfile] on line [myline]
To fix this, you must specify the flags as create or overwrite.
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$opened = $zip->open( $zipFileName, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE | ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE );
if( $opened !== true ){
die("cannot open {$zipFileName} for writing.");
}
$zip->addFromString( $name, $contents );
$zip->close();
?>
When googling for the error message I found a lot of people that had it but couldn't figure out why they were getting it.
I hope this helps someone.

if you are echoing out the output and confused about the number...maybe this will help. i'm not totally sure it is accurate though.

The file name does not need to end in '.zip' if it is created using tempnam(). You just need to overwrite the file instead of trying to read it:
<?php
$file = tempnam("tmp", "zip");
$zip = new ZipArchive();
// Zip will open and overwrite the file, rather than try to read it.
$zip->open($file, ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);
$zip->close();
// Stream the file to the client
header("Content-Type: application/zip");
header("Content-Length: " . filesize($file));
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"a_zip_file.zip\"");
readfile($file);
unlink($file);
?>

If you try this to open a file with creation in mind (= empty zip to fill with other files), this may not work :
$res = $zip->open($zip_file, ZipArchive::CREATE);
// you may get false
Try this instead, it should work :
$res = $zip->open($zip_file, ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE);

It seems the filename has to end in '.zip', so this suffix must be added when using tempnam() to create a random temporary file name.

If the directory you are writing or saving into does not have the correct permissions set, you won't get any error messages and it will look like everything worked fine... except it won't have changed!
Instead make sure you collect the return value of ZipArchive::close(). If it is false... it didn't work.
