[ SCRIPT ] PHP Unzipper!

[army]

With this function, you can extract automatically ZIP-files on your server.
I personally use it in combination with an uploader.

More specific for a photo-gallery . But you also can use it for different purpose .


ATTENTION:
This file (the function) and the ZIP-file have to be CHMODed to 77, otherwise it won't work!

PHP Code:

<?php
// The function
function unpackZip($dir,$file) {
   if ($zip = zip_open($dir.$file.".zip")) {
     if ($zip) {
       mkdir($dir.$file);
       while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {
         if (zip_entry_open($zip,$zip_entry,"r")) {
           $buf = zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry));
           $dir_name = dirname(zip_entry_name($zip_entry));
           if ($dir_name != ".") {
             $dir_op = $dir.$file."/";
               foreach ( explode("/",$dir_name) as $k) {
                 $dir_op = $dir_op . $k;
                 if (is_file($dir_op)) unlink($dir_op);
                 if (!is_dir($dir_op)) mkdir($dir_op);
                 $dir_op = $dir_op . "/" ;
                 }
               }
           $fp=fopen($dir.$file."/".zip_entry_name($zip_entry),"w");
           fwrite($fp,$buf);
           zip_entry_close($zip_entry);
       } else
           return false;
       }
       zip_close($zip);
     }
  } else
     return false;

  return true;
}

// The use of the script
$plaats  = "bestanden/files/"; // The directory where the ZIP-files are upload to ATTENTION: directory ends with a slash (/) !!
$naam   = "afbeeldingen"; // This is the destination-directory
unpackZip($plaats,$naam);
?>

How is it useful?
I use the unzip function in Cpanel.
It is useful only for people who do not use Cpanel.
Anyway it is a nice script to for beginners to understand how to code in PHP.

Uhm, with all do respect ... but it is not just a script for beginners . I will tell you how I use... and I also DO have a hjost with cPanel!

I have a photogallery installed on my school's site. Teachers have a special teachers-panel on that site, and they can upoad pictures to there. But I put there they should make a ZIP with all pictures inside, and upload it then, because it takes less time to upload. Then I logon on the admin-panel, and I run this script ... so when all files are extracted, they are also immediatly aded to the gallery, and they are even up there.

So, that is an example of using it, and it is not just for "beginners" who want to learn PHP. It is for many more features good .
