trouble using unzip.lib.php to extract zip archives

[webhead2]

I am testing the following code:  Notice I am try three techniques to extract the file:

 

require_once("zip.lib.php");
require_once("unzip.lib.php");

$file = "incoming_data/marketplace_feed_v1.xml.zip";

// first attempt, no work
system("unzip $file -d /incoming_data/"); 

// second attempt, dopes not work either
exec($file);

// third attept, works but encoded output

$zip = new SimpleUnzip();
$filename = $file;
$entries = $zip->ReadFile($filename);

foreach ($entries as $entry){
     $fh = fopen($entry->Name, 'w', false);
    fwrite($fh,$entry->Data);
    fclose($fh);
}

 

The first two attemot out put nothing, the third (SimpleUnzip) unzips the files, but the contents are encoded like this:

 

̽ÛrãØÑ.x燎lu»»L¢ˆm{Àƒ$vñÔ$UêòŽ; ’àš

 

Any help is appreciated.

 

I've check the integrity of marketplace_feed_v1.xml.zip.  I've downloaded it and it unpacks nicely.

 

I'm running, Linux, Apache, VPS.

 

I took my code straight from the PHP manual.  Thanks for your help!

Straight from the php manual? Neither zip.lib.php or unzip.lib.php are part of php, but are third party scripts.

Let's not go off on a tangent here.  I'm dying slowly.

are you just trying to extract all the files?

Yes, i am trying to extract all of the files, that's it.

 

I tried this:

 

$file = "incoming_data/marketplace_feed_v1.xml.zip";

 

$zip = new ZipArchive;

if ($zip->open('incoming_data/marketplace_feed_v1.xml.zip') === TRUE) {

    $zip->extractTo('/incoming_data/');

    $zip->close();

    echo 'ok';

} else {

    echo 'failed';

}

 

I GET NOTHING, no message, no files

are you sure....notice you use '/incoming_data/' and not 'incoming_data/'. that leading slash will cause it to create a folder in your root directory

[webhead2]

Thanks for your help.

 

system("unzip $file -d incoming_data/");

 

This works.  It was dumping the files into root. 

 

I thought I had tried both, but you know how it goes when you get waist deep in code.

 

Thanks again for the extra pair of eyeballs.

 

I wonder, is there a way to test if this function is enabled on the server?  Will most servers have this functionality installed by default?  I ask because I am making an installer.

 

system("unzip $file -d incoming_data/");

If your making an installing I would suggest using tar.gz as your compression. tar is pretty well guaranteed to be installed on all Linux's. unzip, most likely isn't.
