Examples

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';
}
?>

Notes

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.
