extract zip file in php

[Séverine Donnay]

Hi,

I have to extract a zip file into a web server in php. I found ZZIPlib
LIbrary by Guido Draheim which allow to do this but I can't install it. On
Manual PHP, explanations for install it, are :

You will need to use the --with-zip[=DIR] configuration option when
compiling PHP to enable zip support.

I don't understand where I have to put this command. I tried to put it on
php.ini and to install extension in php.ini but it doesn't work. I don't
compile my code because I use php on web server. Do u know how to install
this library ?
Or do u know another library easy to install which allow to do zip
extraction.

Thanks.
Severine

try this, if it works, you can just use unzip to hande your needs

<?php
print `unzip`;
?>

note: those are back ticks, not single quotes, same key on the keyboard as
the ~
