Yeah, you're supposed to provide both constants (i.e.
ZipArchive::OVERWRITE does *not* imply ZipArchive::CREATE).

Am I the only one still having an issue today with PHP 8.1?

My code:

```
$oZip = new \ZipArchive();
if (($err = $oZip->open($sFile, \ZipArchive::OVERWRITE)) !== true)
```

Does not work from time to time. It is NOT a permission issue. I can totally use `touch($sFile)` and it works perfectly.

I fixed this by using:

```
$oZip = new \ZipArchive();
if (($err = $oZip->open($sFile, \ZipArchive::CREATE | \ZipArchive::OVERWRITE)) !== true)
```

And now it seems to work properly.

Feedback appreciated :)

Best,

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

We're taking the wording from the zip_open() documentation[1], and don't
care to document that ZipArchive::OVERWRITE implied ZipArchive::CREATE
in some formerly bundled libzips.

Since system libzip is actually preferred in the meantime[1], we
won't customize the bundled libzip anymore.  Thus, I'm switching
to doc issue.
