Example #1 Extract all entries
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
$zip->extractTo('/my/destination/dir/');
$zip->close();
echo 'ok';
} else {
echo 'failed';
}
?>
Example #2 Extract two entries
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open('test_im.zip');
if ($res === TRUE) {
$zip->extractTo('/my/destination/dir/', array('pear_item.gif', 'testfromfile.php'));
$zip->close();
echo 'ok';
} else {
echo 'failed';
}
?>
Note:
Windows NTFS file systems do not support some characters in filenames, namely
<|>*?":. Filenames with a trailing dot are not supported either. Contrary to some extraction tools, this method does not replace these characters with an underscore, but instead fails to extract such files.
