    Default Need a php help

    Hi,
    I'm developing a site where user can create a folder(e.g, myfolder), then upload a .zip/.rar/.tar file(like- tems.rar) there and press submit. Then the uploaded .zip/.rar/.tar file will be uncompressed in the 'myfolder'.

    Is there anybody who can help me in solving the problem? Desperately need the solution.

    This is potentially a security nightmare for your server, you actually need to talk to your server hosting company as most servers disable executable files like .zip from running on a web server. I could be wrong so if anyone knows differently I will like to learn how as well.

    Thanks temi, for your reply. I'll contact my server hosting company.

    I think you are right on the money.

    I know that there is a way of doing it, I just don't know how. SMF uses a similar script to upload and unpack mods and plug-ins. So far, the script has worked on every server I've ever tried it on. It uses Gzip compression typically, and the unpacking can be done from a browser window.

    I also believe it can be done. I know i uploaded joomla zipped template , certainly joomla needs to unzip the template inside .
