I have a folder in my web server were I put zip files that I need to then unzip. I want to do that with php and this is what I have tried but it does not work:
<?php
$file = $_GET["file"];
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open($file+'.zip');
$zip->extractTo('./');
$zip->close();
?>
The zip files are in the same folder as the php file, but when I go to the php page it does nothing.
By doing some testing I have found out that the script dies on the $zip = new ZipArchive;
line
How can I manage this to work?

<?php
$fileName = $_GET['file']; // get file name in the URL param "file"
if (isset($fileName)) { // if $fileName php variable is set than
$zip = new ZipArchive; // create object
$res = $zip->open($fileName); // open archive
if ($res === TRUE) {
$zip->extractTo('./'); // extract contents to destination directory
$zip->close(); //close the archieve
echo 'Extracted file "'.$fileName.'"';
} else {
echo 'Cannot find the file name "'.$fileName.'" (the file name should include extension (.zip, ...))';
}
}
else {
echo 'Please set file name in the "file" param';
}
?>

Try this code. Also change $zip->open($file+".zip");
to $zip->open($file);
.
+ (plus sign) is not concatenation operator in php
<?php
// $_GET["file"] is set to `a.zip`
$file = $_GET["file"];
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open($file);
$zip->extractTo('./');
$zip->close();
?>

I have found the problem. The code is fine, but the hosting service is not, and they do not have the ZIP extension available right now
