I couldn't find any how-to example for getting the filenames, so I made an easy one.

Here's an example how to list all filenames from a zip-archive:

<?php
$zip
= new ZipArchive;
if (
$zip->open('items.zip'))
{
for(
$i = 0; $i < $zip->numFiles; $i++)
{
echo
'Filename: ' . $zip->getNameIndex($i) . '<br />';
}
}
else
{
echo
'Error reading zip-archive!';
}
?>

Hope it helps.
