PHP ZipArchive::open always results in an ZIPARCHIVE::ER_READ error

I am currently storing lots of photos in a zip archive on a LAMP server. When a new user gets added to my program I open the zip archive and add their photo.

The problem is when the zip archive approaches 50MB the function ZipArchive::open always returns the error number 5, which I believe is this error ZIPARCHIVE::ER_READ

Does any one have a clue why this would happen?

Many thanks,

Theo.

In the end I stopped using the ZipArchive class and zipped the files up on the command line using the php exec command http://php.net/manual/en/function.exec.php

exec('tar -cvf file.tar myfile.txt');

Try increasing php's memory_limit. It's possible it's running out of memory when loading a larger .zip file.
