We will create method for unzi the file.This method has two argument one is source location other is destination location.
- <?php
- function unzip($location,$newLocation){
- if(exec(“unzip $location”,$arr)){
- mkdir($newLocation);
- for($i = 1;$i< count($arr);$i++){
- $file = trim(preg_replace(“~inflating: ~”,“”,$arr[$i]));
- copy($location.‘/’.$file,$newLocation.‘/’.$file);
