<?php
/*
Here I have created a quick function in php to extract zip file.
Unzipping file is now very easy using php.
In php there is a function called ZipArchive::extractTo, using this predefined function you can easily extract zip archive.
*/

function unzip($file, $location) {
  $zip = new ZipArchive;
  if ($zip->open($file) === TRUE) {
    $zip->extractTo($location);
    $zip->close();
    return "Success";
  } else {
    return 'failed';
  }
}

// Now you call this function anywhere you want and pass two parameters.
// The zip file and destination path where extracted file should be placed.

$file = 'github.zip';
$location = "assets/";
echo unzip($file, $location);
