It seems that zip_entry_read returns an empty string (i.e. '') at the end of file instead of FALSE. At least in PHP 5.3 on Windows XP.

When reading from a zip file if the initial call to zip_entry_read() returns false it would be advisable to run mkdir with the file name since it it very likely that the zero length file was a directory and attempts to save the files within the directory will fail if you dont create it first
