It looks like you're missing a couple of the basic concepts of the tool. I would suggest re-reading the README file as it is pretty well written. Your main problems are that you are trying to make a zip file with a url as opposed to a local file path (which is why you can't write to it). Also, you're specifying a folder for the wrong reasons, folder is for creating a folder within the zip.

1. The make method takes a string, the relative path of the file, not a url. By default it will write the "public" folder. If you were to use $zip->make('20.zip') it will create a 20.zip file in the public directory.
2. The folder method takes the name of a folder to create inside the zip in which subsequent files will be created, again, not a url.
3. Your call to extractTo will extract the content of the zip into public/20 which might be what you're looking for.

Basically you're asking your server to create a zip file at a remote url (http://localhost:8000/books/20/20.zip), create a folder in it called 'http://localhost:8000/books/', and then extract it. I think what you're really looking to do is open an existing zip file and extract it. Re-read the documentation and pay close attention to 1) the difference between the zip and make methods and 2) the proper usage of the folder and extractTo methods.
