Description:
------------
If you try to archive large file trees using ZipArchive you get false at ZipArchive::close().

ZipArchive::getStatusString says about "unknown error"

Test script:
---------------
install https://github.com/KOLANICH/PHP-Backuper
and dBug (or comment all "new dBug" in files, for example, with Notepad++)
download any archive, containing "large" tree, for example Drupal, and unpack it

write
<?
require_once("Backuper.php");
$b=new Backuper(
array(
'backup'=>array(
"FileTree"=>array(
"unpackedArchivePath"
)
)
)
);
$b->makeBackup();
?>
and launch

you will see that it doesn't work

the problem is on the https://github.com/KOLANICH/PHP-Backuper/blob/master/Backuper.php#L136 , $this->zip->close() returns false and the files would not be archivated.

Expected result:
----------------
$this->zip->close() returns true and the files are archivated

Actual result:
--------------
$this->zip->close() returns false and the files are not archivated

It's usually not very handy to debug big scripts. It would rock if you could extract a small snippet representing the wrong behavior.

I replaced this with PHAR and had found a bug in my script - it tryed to archivate a file which is not present beacuse of some errors in hash calculation (used instead of inode in windows).

But the error message should be understandable. It should not be "Unknown error 55703736" it should be "File not found". Also it will be good to add file existence check to ZipArchive::addFile implementation.

Now I am using phar but found some bug in its implementation : if there is .gz in the filename (in the middle of it), the archive type is set to tar.gz regardless of the flags.

Define large files tree. How many entries? No matter the platform, each folder 
can have a files amount limit, or a limit of file handles per process. 

It is pretty easy to create to a small script, create a zip objects, add as many 
files you need to it (from addFromString for example), close it :)

About the error code, mind to show a small code to reproduce it? or is it only a 
file not found on add? addFile uses to check file existences, but only on the 
method call. If the file disappears between add and close, the close method may 
file (compression and co is done on close).

>addFile uses to check file existences
https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/master/ext/zip/php_zip.c#L1797

It only checks wheither dir exists, but there is no checks for file existence

Phar::addFile makes this check, ZipArchive::addFile doesn't.

expand_filepath should do that check, ab, can you check that please? or we can use 
realpath in this case, which does check everything.
