The Little Guy Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 If a zip file is password protected, can PHP still read contents of the zip file? I need PHP to check to make sure the zip file does have a password, and that the password is the correct password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redarrow Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 hi thee just read for half an hour on your quistion it a good one, according to the grate net the only possabilty is to use a shell program and use php exec() to enter the password and compare that way. dont think what i read there another way around it.

The Little Guy Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 The closest I could find was this: If you want to unzip an password protected file with php..try the following command....it works in Unix/Apache environment...I haven't tested in any other environment... system("`which unzip` -P Password $zipfile -d $des",$ret_val) Where $zipfile is the path to the .zip to be unzipped and $des is path to the destination directory.....here both absolute and relative path to the script (which contains this system command) will work... if everything runs well...file should be unzipped at the $des directory..and you will get 0 value for $ret_val , which means success(info-zip.org) Regards Krishnendu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
