Overview
There is an issue with the ZipArchive class' open() method. In previous versions of PHP when the only flag passed to the method was the ZipArchive::OVERWRITE, the method also created non-existing archives.
Since PHP 5.6 the OVERWRITE flag alone cannot create new archives which breaks compatibility.
Before
Zip files were created if they did not exist by simply specifying the ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE flag.
After
ZipArchive::ER_OPEN error code is returned (cannot open zip file).
