How to extract .zip archive (PHP)

A function that allows you to extract files from a zip archive to a specified folder:

function extractZip($filePath, $extractTo){ 

	$zip = new ZipArchive();

	$result = $zip->open($filePath);

	if ($result === TRUE) {

  		$zip->extractTo($extractTo);

  		$zip->close(); 

	} 

	return $result;

}



$file = 'myfile.zip'; // change to your file path

$folder = 'myfolder'; // change to your folder path



extractZip($file, $folder);

Note: you need a zlib library for this code to work
