How to unpack a .tar.gz file on the host ?

[pwired]

Hi

I need to unpack a file.tar.gz on my host.

However my host only unpacks .zip files

and I can not use exec() like in:

<?php
exec('tar -xzf file.tar.gz',$ret);
?>

Does anyone know a good standalone php script that will let me

unpack a .tar.gz file on a host ?
