Are there any specific PHP versions where the behavior of zip-Archive class methods varies?

The behavior of some zip-Archive class methods, such as addEmptyDir() and addFile(), may vary between different PHP versions due to changes in the underlying ZipArchive extension. To ensure consistent behavior across different PHP versions, it is recommended to check the PHP documentation for the specific version you are using and test your code thoroughly. Additionally, consider using alternative methods or libraries for zip file manipulation if you encounter compatibility issues. 

$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zipFile = 'archive.zip';

if ($zip->open($zipFile, ZipArchive::CREATE) === TRUE) {
    // Add files or directories to the zip archive
    $zip->addFile('file.txt', 'file.txt');
    $zip->addEmptyDir('empty_directory');

    $zip->close();
    echo 'Zip archive created successfully.';
} else {
    echo 'Failed to create zip archive.';
}
