    // Include and initialize ZipArchive class
    require_once 'ZipArchiver.class.php';
    $zipper = new ZipArchiver;
    // Path of the directory to be zipped
    $dirPath = 'timezone_map';
    // Path of output zip file
    $zipPath = 'archive_files/archive-'.time().'.zip';
    // Create zip archive
    $zip = $zipper->zipDir($dirPath, $zipPath);
    if($zip){
        echo 'ZIP archive created successfully.';
    }else{
        echo 'Failed to create ZIP.';
    }
?>

ZipArchiver.class.php

<?php
    Class ZipArchiver {
        /**
         * Folder path that should be zipped.
         *
         * @return response()
         */
        public static function zipDir($sourcePath, $outZipPath){
            $pathInfo = pathinfo($sourcePath);
            $parentPath = $pathInfo['dirname'];
            $dirName = $pathInfo['basename'];

        
            $z = new ZipArchive();
            $z->open($outZipPath, ZipArchive::CREATE);
            $z->addEmptyDir($dirName);
            if($sourcePath == $dirName){
                self::dirToZip($sourcePath, $z, 0);
            }else{
                self::dirToZip($sourcePath, $z, strlen("$parentPath/"));
            }
            $z->close();

            
            return true;
        }
        /**
         * Add files and sub-directories in a folder to zip file.
         *
         * @return response()
         */
        private static function dirToZip($folder, &$zipFile, $exclusiveLength){
            $handle = opendir($folder);
            while(FALSE !== $f = readdir($handle)){
                if($f != '.' && $f != '..' && $f != basename(__FILE__)){
                    $filePath = "$folder/$f";
                    $localPath = substr($filePath, $exclusiveLength);
                    if(is_file($filePath)){
                        $zipFile->addFile($filePath, $localPath);
                    }elseif(is_dir($filePath)){                
                        $zipFile->addEmptyDir($localPath);
                        self::dirToZip($filePath, $zipFile, $exclusiveLength);
                    }
                }
            }
            closedir($handle);
        }
