Unzip all Files to a Single Directory (Ignoring Subdirectories in Zip)

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to unzip all files into a single directory, ignoring the internal directory structure of the files in the .zip. Chilkat2 PHP

<?php

use Chilkat2\FileAccess;
use Chilkat2\Zip;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$outDir = 'c:/temp/testUnzipDir';

// Make sure our output directory exists.
$fac = new FileAccess();
try {
    $fac->DirEnsureExists($outDir);

    $zip = new Zip();

    // In this example, the xml_files.zip contains some files in the subdirectories "dir1" and also "dir2/dir3".

    // a1.xml
    // b1.xml
    // c1.xml
    // dir1/a2.xml
    // dir1/c2.xml
    // dir2/dir3/c3.xml

    $zip->OpenZip('qa_data/zips/xml_files.zip');
} catch (\Chilkat2\Exception $e) {
    echo $e->getMessage(), "\n";
    exit;
}

// Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir
$numUnzipped = $zip->UnzipInto($outDir);
if ($numUnzipped < 0) {
    echo $zip->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

echo 'Num unzipped = ', $numUnzipped, "\n";

// After unzipping via UnzipInto, we have this:

// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a1.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\b1.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c1.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a2.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c2.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c3.xml

$zip->CloseZip();

echo "Success.\n";
