#14352 — unzio without directory

Hi,
i have this code for unzipping:


$file = $fileName;
$path = pathinfo(realpath($file), PATHINFO_DIRNAME);
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open($file);
if ($res === TRUE) {
	$zip->extractTo($path);
	$zip->close();
	echo "OK";
} else {
	echo "Fail";
}

This works fine - but the zip file contains a directory structure like this:

RootDirectoryDir0
	File1
	File2	
	...
	<Dir1>
		File1
		...
	<Dir2>
		File1
		...

I want only everything without Dir0. So that i get files like this:
	File1
	File2	
	...
	<Dir1>
		File1
		...
	<Dir2>
		File1
		...

Unzip to a temporary directory then move everything to where you want it.

OK, this may also be a soltution.
I think, i have not ask my problem behind this question.

I like to have a upgrade mechanism, who will overwrite the php files.
But what i see is: how can i check every file/directory rights ?
Maybe i must in the future vreate Directorys or modify them also with files.

What can be the best proceed for that?

You have to check the rights individually for each directory.  But be
forewarned, if you're doing this through a web server, the web server
should NOT have write access to the PHP files (ideally, it shouldn't
even have write access to any files/directories except those which have
been uploaded through the web server, i.e. files for download by other
users).

If you're using the CLI instead, you need to ensure the user you are
running as has write access to the files and directories in question.

This is pointless.  Why not use $fileName in the following?

That is not a question, and you have been negligent with your Subject header 
field value, too: <http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html>

Next time, RTFM first (took me less than 10 seconds to find it):

Maybe if you understood ANYTHING you would understand this does NOT
resolve her problem.  But you don't - as usua.

Wrong.  This is not a repository for complete solutions.  I am and I have 
been fully aware that the code there needs only a *slight* adaptation to do 
*exactly* what the OP is looking for.  Do you know which?

BTW, Jan is a *male* given name; not to be confused with, e.g. Jana or Jane.

Sorry about that - I've known several female Jans over the years, also.
 More than male, in fact.

Sure this is the right place for a complete solution.  But YOU don't
know what it is, that is obvious.  I gave a much better solution.  You
gave crap - as usual.

BTW - Jan is also a female name - usually short for Janet.  But once
again you show your stoopidity.

Usenet is not a right.  If *you* want to post a complete solution, you are 
free to do so.  But anyone asking here has not a right to get one, so one is 
free not to provide one.  In fact, it is better to teach a man how to fish, 
and because of that, Usenet, and developer forums in general, usually work 
*that* way.

I have already written that I do.  I have tested it positive.  You have not 
answered my question, though, so probably you do not know the answer.

> I gave a much better solution. [abuse snipped]

You have suggested, in words, but not at all in code, to extract to a 
temporary directory and then move all files under the contained directory.   
In which way is that “much better” than extracting the files (including the 
directories) under the contained directory directly?

You're the one who claimed you had an answer.  And not it becomes even
more obvious you are just trolling (again).

Which is the correct answer.  But you still don't understand the
question, so there is no way you can provide an answer.

There is not *the* *single*, correct, answer here.  There are *several* ways 
in which the posed problem can be approached; there are at least two.  You 
have suggested a different approach than I did (again, I am fully aware that 
the code I have referred to does not, *as it is*, solve the problem; it is a 
good start though).  Fair enough.  I have asked you above in which way you 
think your approach is better.  You have still not answered that question.

Do you even have *solid* arguments *why* your approach is the better one?

> But you still don't understand the question,

How did you get that idea?

> so there is no way you can provide an answer.

Ex falso quodlibet.
