Extract ZIP file Server side

I’m looking for a solution for unzipping /extracting a loaded ZIP onto a server using PHP into a folder of the same name…

The ZIP will contain an unspecified number of files and directories and needs to be unzipped into a folder with the same name as the ZIP folder…

Anyone know of any libraries available for this?

hmmm… Excellent sounds like a streamlined approach to speed things up a bit on your end!! Nice.

Also, real quick- any work on the BETA for 3D when we might get rolling?

Thank you

brilliant class!

Thanks!

I have a small script that I upload to the server whenever I need to extract a zip archive, here’s the code:

<?php $filename = $_GET['archive'];
    $zip = new ZipArchive;
    if ($zip?>open($filename) === TRUE) {
        $zip->extractTo('./');
        $zip->close();
        echo 'The file <strong>'.$filename.'</strong> Extracted successfully';
    }    else {
        echo 'failed';
        }
?&gt;

How to use

Copy the file to your server to the same directory as where the ZIP archive is, and then extract using the following syntax: http://example.com/blah/unzip.php?archive=file.zip.

It’s worked wonders so far. Make sure you have write permissions to the directory you’re trying to extract, otherwise the extraction will fail. Also, it won’t extract the contents to a directory of the same name, it will just extract the contents to the current directory.

I looked at this a while ago but quickly looking over their docs there was no way to unzip to the server… its only for reading ZIPs into Flash
