pwired Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Ok, how do you extract a tar.gz file on an on-line server, e.g. filename.tar.gz without using CPanel ? My hoster does NOT provide shell access and PHP is executed in safe mode. And this code does NOT work either: < ? system(\"tar -xvfz filename.tar.gz\"); ?> PHP Scripts working with pclzip.lip.php do not work either with .tar.gz (error: can not find end of archive!) these scripts only work with zip files packed with 7zip or winrar. Yes I could dump my hoster and look for one who gives shell access, but for the moment I think it would work with the Pear class Archive_Tar What would be a php test script to check if Pear is enabled on a server and php code that calls the Archive_Tar class to extract filename.tar.gz ? Anyone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragan Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Did you try http://www.php.net/manual/en/phardata.extractto.php ? On my host, this seems to be enabled, i.e. I see it listed when I do phpinfo(). Seems to be pretty easy to use. Example I found somewhere: // decompress from gz $p = new PharData('files.tar.gz'); $p->decompress(); // creates files.tar // unarchive from the tar $phar = new PharData('files.tar'); $phar->extractTo('new_dir'); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
