Unzip folder contents to root












0















I have a zip folder that I want to place into the root of my application. The zip folder and contents looks like this;



documents.zip
- docs/
- index.html
- test.txt


Using the following code;



$zip = new ZipArchive;

$zip->open( $package, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE );

$zip->extractTo( ROOTPATH );


The zip folder is unzipped and ends up looking like this;



- docs/
- index.html
- test.txt


However I'd like to place the contents of the docs folder in the actual environment root. ROOTPATH (the env root, from above) evaluates to app/public/ so the zip folder contents is currently unzipped to app/public/docs/.



How can I move the contents with ZipArchive into the root?

  • You never want to enable php to write into the file system location that is served by your http server.

  • The PHP implementation doesn't seem to have the "junk paths" option, but you can do this from the shell with unzip -j.
