Extract .zip files using PHP

Question

How can I extract .zip (100%) using PHP?

Answer 1

If you have zziplib installed, you can use this code:

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
  $zip->extractTo('/my/destination/dir/');
  $zip->close();
  echo 'ok';
} else {
  echo 'failed';
}
?>

Make sure the user running php (usually nobody, apache or httpd) has write permission on the destination directory.

Answer 2

Use the Zip API . The algorithm for this is:

• Open file with zip_open
• Read a directory entry with zip_read ; if false goto step 8
• Get name with zip_entry_name
• Open a record with zip_entry_open
• zip_entry_read ,
• zip_entry_close
• 2
• zip_close
