A few days ago i was looking for a script witch one will help me to unzip a file using PHP . There is 2 different ways to do it.One just execute a commend to unzip the file in the shell using PHP and another one is using library functions .Then i found this script from phpxperts.
// create object
$zip = new ZipArchive() ;
// open archive
if ($zip->open(‘archive. zip’) !== TRUE) {
die (‘Could not open archive’);
}
// extract contents to destination directory
$zip->extractTo(‘/ tmp/extracted/ ‘);
// close archive
// print success message
$zip->close();
echo ‘Archive extracted to directory’;

It looks like you need to have php compiled with this library (found here)included. I’d guess that some hosts do this by default, but some (mine included) don’t.
I’ve found it’s usually easier to just use exec() and have php do it from the command line.
