Gzip and Dir Creation

[amPAR]

I want to set it up so that I can gzip a group of files then upload them. PHP will extract them create a directory of my choice and put the files there.

Now I don't want you to write a tutorial on how to do this I can do it I just need to know how to gzip files (Do I just zip them and change the name or is it a different compression)? What command to do I use to extract the files and how do I create a directory via php?

Thanks for your help.

A similar question was answered recently (ok, it was last year, but still recent 🙂) on the forums. A quick search should have found it. As for making a directory, ditto the PHP manual
