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
<?php function unzip($file, $location) { $zip = new ZipArchive; if ($zip->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.
<?php $file = 'jnoti.zip'; $location = "extractZip/"; echo unzip($file, $location); ?> |
