Unzipping without exec ?

[Erwin Moller]

Hi all,

Does anybody know of a package/solution to unzip files (*.zip, possibly also
*.rar, but *.zip is the most urgent) WITHOUT calling exec?

A friend of mine is working in an environment in safemode without access to
zip. (The ISP make no exception for zip)

Are there packages around that can unzip without using a systemcall?

Any solutions, ideas?

TIA!

Regards,
Erwin Moller

I assume you are aware of the php built-in zip library, but just in case
not, check it out: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.zip.php

Thanks.

As you guessed: This is new to me. ;-)

I see it needs a PECL extension.
I expect this is no problem.

Thanks, I should have find that one myself. (Erwin slaps himself).

I should have typed zip into the searchbox.
Me stupid. :P
