I got the whole creating a zip file and adding zip files to it using PHP. However, I can't get this code to work to extract a file from the zip file and put it in a specified folder. When I created my zip file, I put all the files into a directory Dir1, but using the code below, I can't get the any of the files in this directory to extract. I got this off of the PHP Manual zip function. I reworked it for my own use. Can someone find out why my file(s) aren't extarcting.
Here is the directory structure of the zip file:
MainZipFILE
| | | | | | |
Directory1
| | | || | |
Files 1
Files 2
Files 3
I want to extract files 2 only to another folder, Folder 2 Without maintiaining the directory structure ie. I want Files 2 be saved into Folder 2 like this.
Folder 2
|||||||||
Files 2
The problem I think I am having is when the zip file opens it isn't opening the Directory 1, and so it doesn't extract the files, since they are in the Directory 1 folder. here is the code I have so far:
/*How would I set the archive so that it opens the Inside folder Directory 1?*/
$archive = "MainZipfile\\directory1."\\";
/* Shouldn't the above open up the directory inside the Mainzipfile?*/
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open($archive) !== true){
echo"could not open zip file";
}
$zip->extractTo(Folder2, Files2);
$zip->close();
