unzip php script

[nomorekillz]

Hey dear community, I started to learn somethings about mysql and php today. Im trying to use a custom url to unzip x file. for example:

http://www.Whateverwebsite.com/uploads/unzip.php?file=FILENAME

The reason of this is because Im using a remote connection from a game to download x files to the server. but I cant find a away to to that. I have found this little code ...

<?php

     $zip = new ZipArchive;
     $res = $zip->open('');
     if ($res === TRUE) {
         $zip->extractTo('');
         $zip->close();
         echo 'ok';
     } else {
         echo 'failed';
     }
?> 

I would like to unzip it in a folder with the same name.

I hope u can help me with this little problem.

Thanks and regards.

You should read the manual that php.net provides: http://php.net/manual/en/class.ziparchive.php

Also make sure your php version is bigger than 5.2.0
