Unzip Zip file using php

This is a quick tutorial to Unzip Zip file using 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.




Here is the function..

function.php

open($file) === TRUE) {
	    $zip->extractTo($location);
	    $zip->close();
	    return "Success";
	} else {
	    return 'failed';
	}
  }
?>

Now call this function anywhere you want and pass tow parameter, zip file and destination path where extracted file should be placed.
