which package to use for unzipping zipped files with PHP

I've used the PECL zip extension. I believe it was originally based on
zzip, but is now based on another zip library.

I won't make any claims about it being better or worse than the other
two you mention ('cause I really don't know), but I can tell it works
reliably. :-)

Dear all.

I have been googling to find out which is the best way to use PHP to
unzip a zip file I have found the following:

zziplib

and

pclzip

but still can't really decide without doing alot of tests etc

Can anyone give advice as to which one to use. and which one not to
and why?

TIA.

I would go with this one:
http://php.net/zip
because it's built-in, faster, easier, and the PHP Dev Team will
(probably) keep maintaining it.
