i cant find where my file go...

 

$file = "AG3421226.WDB09.02.010.pdf";
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open('\\\\asecasiagsd\\AGS\\AGS\\WIP\\PROOF_QA_CSR\\AG3421226.WDB09.02.010.zip');
if ($res === TRUE) {
    $zip->extractTo('\\\\asecasiagsd\\AGS\\AGS\\WIP\\PROOF_QA_CSR\\extract', $file);
    $zip->close();
    echo 'ok';
} else {
    echo 'failed';
}

The example on this page should help you.

Everything looks ok -- however, I'm wondering if these routines work ok with the windows file share?  Can you try mapping a drive on the server and specifying the drive letter instead?

 

It also might be  a permissions or path issue.  Are you using IIS or Apache?  Can you create a simple file in that same directory using fopen() fwrite() fclose(), and see if that works ok?

i already make it work for just decompressing a whole zip file. so there is no problem in permission or path. or even in server apache or IIS.

Personally, windows is suppossed to accept either \ or / as path seperators.  Just to remove any confusion I would only use the slash, so you don't have to be concerned about the escape property. 

 

With that said, if the code is not returning any error conditions, then my only suggestion is that the extracto path requires the ending slash.  My suggestion would be to change your code so that it only uses the slash characters: so the extracTo method call would be:

 

 

$zip->extractTo('//asecasiagsd/AGS/AGS/WIP/PROOF_QA_CSR/extract/', $file);
