How to set password in zip archive with php

I just want to set password in already existing zip archive, I use method $zip->setPassword("MySecretPassword") , The function returns true, but password is absent. After code running I can extract files without puting password. Here is my code like this:

<?php
    $zip = new ZipArchive();
    $zip_status = $zip->open("test.zip");

    if ($zip_status === true)
    {
        if ($zip->setPassword("MySecretPassword"))
        {
            if (!$zip->extractTo(__DIR__))
                echo "Extraction failed (wrong password?)";
        }

        $zip->close();
    }
    else
    {
        die("Failed opening archive: ". @$zip->getStatusString() . " (code: ". $zip_status .")");
    }
?>

Can any one help me.

This function only sets the password to be used to decompress the archive; it does not turn a non-password-protected ZipArchive into a password-protected ZipArchive.

The top comment also says

Wouldn't it make sense for this method to be named ZipArchive::usePassword, instead? There seems to be a lot of people thinking that its name, currently (ZipArchive::setPassword), is for applying a password. I think nomenclature should certainly be up for discussion on this method.

This would suggest that this function is for setting the password when performing extraction only using the ZipArchive class.
