which package to use for unzipping zipped files with PHP
3 answers - 358 bytes -

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'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. :-)

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.
