php creating zips without path to files inside the zip

I'm trying to use php to create a zip file (which it does - taken from this page - http://davidwalsh.name/create-zip-php), however inside the zip file are all of the folder names to the file itself.

Is it possible to just have the file inside the zip minus all the folders?

Here's my code:

function create_zip($files = array(), $destination = '', $overwrite = true) {

    if(file_exists($destination) && !$overwrite) { return false; };
    $valid_files = array();
    if(is_array($files)) {
        foreach($files as $file) { 
            if(file_exists($file)) { 
                $valid_files[] = $file;
            };
        };
    };
    if(count($valid_files)) { 
        $zip = new ZipArchive();
        if($zip->open($destination,$overwrite ? ZIPARCHIVE::OVERWRITE : ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) !== true) { 
            return false;
        };
        foreach($valid_files as $file) { 
            $zip->addFile($file,$file);
        };
        $zip->close();
        return file_exists($destination);
    } else {
        return false;
    };

};


$files_to_zip = array('/media/138/file_01.jpg','/media/138/file_01.jpg','/media/138/file_01.jpg');

$result = create_zip($files_to_zip,'/...full_site_path.../downloads/138/138_files.zip');

I use this to remove root folder from zip

D:\xampp\htdocs\myapp\assets\index.php

wil be in zip:

assets\index.php

our code:

echo $main_path = str_replace("\\", "/", __DIR__ );// get current folder, which call scipt
$zip_file = 'myapp.zip';

if (file_exists($main_path) && is_dir($main_path))  
{
    $zip = new ZipArchive();

    if (file_exists($zip_file)) {
        unlink($zip_file); // truncate ZIP
    }
    if ($zip->open($zip_file, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE)!==TRUE) {
        die("cannot open <$zip_file>\n");
    }

    $files = 0;
    $paths = array($main_path);
    while (list(, $path) = each($paths))
    {
        foreach (glob($path.'/*') as $p)
        {
            if (is_dir($p)) {
                $paths[] = $p;
            } else {
                // special here: we remove root folder ("D:\xampp\htdocs\myapp\") :D
                $new_filename = str_replace($main_path."/" , "", $p);
                $zip->addFile($p, $new_filename);
                $files++;

                echo $p."<br>\n";
            }
        }
    }

    echo 'Total files: '.$files;

    $zip->close();
}
