If you get an error like this:

Warning: zip_read() expects parameter 1 to be resource, integer given in xxxxxx on line x

It's because zip_open() failed to open the file and returned an error code instead of a resource. It took me a while to figure out why it failed to open the file, until I tried to use the FULL path to the file.

<?php

// Even if the file exists, zip_open() will return an error code.
$file = 'file.zip';
$zip = zip_open($file);

// The workaround:
$file = getcwd() . '/file.zip';

// Or:
$file = 'C:\\path\\to\\file.zip';

?>

This worked for me on Windows at least. I'm not sure about other platforms.
