Unzip an uploaded file using php

---

If you dont have shell access to your server and need to unzip a file on your php server you can use this script. It basically extracts the zip file into the directory you specify. Make sure the directory you want to extract it to has write permissions.

gistfile1.php

<?php
  $zip = new ZipArchive;
     $res = $zip->open('my_zip_file.zip');
     if ($res === TRUE) {
         $zip->extractTo('my_extract_to_dir/');
         $zip->close();
         echo 'ok';
     } else {
         echo 'failed';
  }
?>
