Doesn't work with the following options:
$options = array('remove_all_path' => TRUE);
$zipArchive->addGlob($path."/*", GLOB_BRACE, $options);

The full path to file is adding to the archive.

Works well if:
$options = array('add_path' => './','remove_all_path' => TRUE);

As others suggested, to remove all paths, use the space as basepath.
Zip opened with builtin utility on a Windows XP and WinRAR.

$options = array('add_path' => ' ','remove_all_path' => TRUE);

Thanks for all contributers.
