PHP ZipArchive: Finding the name of the zipped folder after unzipping

I am using the ZipArchive to unzip a zip file:

This file is a zipped up folder and i want to:

Make sure that the content consists of just a folder (obviously with files in side) Get the name of the unzipped folder so i can then rename it if needs be?

But having trouble getting the folders name after the unzip? I know i could get the name of the zip file as most of the time when zipped it the same name but some people also change the zipped file name.

If you know for sure there's only one dir in the zip you can just do this:

$dir = trim($zip->getNameIndex(0), '/');

Otherwise, you'll have to loop over all the files and somehow figure out which one of them is the one you want:

for ($i = 0; $i < $zip->numFiles; $i++) {
    $entry = $zip->getNameIndex($i);
}
