PHP Unzip Local File

Question

Hi I need to download a zip file using ftp and then unzip it on local computer. I can download the file using ftp_get but I need help on unzipping it to specific location.

        $ftpServer = "server";
        $ftpUser = "user";
        $ftpPassword = "password";

        $ftp_server = $ftpServer;
        $ftp_conn = ftp_connect($ftp_server);
        $ftp_login = ftp_login($ftp_conn, $ftpUser, $ftpPassword ); 

        if(!$ftp_conn) 
            die("A connection to $ftpServer couldn't be established"); 
        else if(!$ftp_login) 
            die("Your login credentials were rejected"); 
        else
        {
            $file = "C:/files/downloads/FILE_NAME.ZIP";

            $server_file = "/FILE_NAME.ZIP"; 

            if (ftp_get($ftp_conn, $file, $server_file, FTP_ASCII)) 
            {

                $zip = new ZipArchive;
                $res = $zip->open($file);

                if ($res === TRUE) 
                {
                  $zip->extractTo('C:/files/Feeds/');
                  $zip->close();
                }

                unlink($file);
            }
            else 
            {
                echo "There was a problem\n";
                $this->index();
            }
        }

Thank you for you help.

Have you looked at PHP's [ZipArchive](http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.ziparchive.php) at all? — Mark Baker, Apr 08 '15 at 10:16
Well it might help if you showed some of your code, so we can look at what you're doing and try to work out what you're doing wrong..... if you don't show your code, all we can do is make wild guesses, which wastes our time and doesn't help you — Mark Baker, Apr 08 '15 at 10:19

Try with this code

Unzip.php:-

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('/sites/gallery.zip') === TRUE) {
    $zip->extractTo('/sites/New folder/test');
    $zip->close();
    echo 'ok';
} else {
    echo 'failed';
}
?>

I tired this and it fails but I know the path and file name are correct don't understand why it is failing. – user4676307 Apr 08 '15 at 10:35
Are zipping correctly.i mean zipping the files are ok? – RaMeSh Apr 08 '15 at 10:39
Do one thing unzip FILE_NAME.ZIP this file in manually. – RaMeSh Apr 08 '15 at 10:39
what error you got in your program? – RaMeSh Apr 08 '15 at 10:44
It echos 'failed' but I dont understand why because both file name and path are correct. – user4676307 Apr 08 '15 at 10:52
I just tried to unzip it manually using winrar and it is giving me error saying the archive is corrupt – user4676307 Apr 08 '15 at 10:54
If it fails, expand the failed section of the code to check for the error values that may be returned by [open()](http://nl1.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.open.php) – Mark Baker Apr 08 '15 at 10:54
Figured it out I needed to use FTP_BINARY instead FTP_ASCII to download it and then ZipArchive to unzip it. Thanks – user4676307 Apr 08 '15 at 10:57

You can use the ZipArchive class for this

$archive = new ZipArchive;
if ($archive->open('my_zip_fil.zip') === TRUE) {
    $archive->extractTo('destination/dir');
    $archive->close();
}
