PHP zip

[Zoist]

I looked at the php site to allow php to open zip files and let a user choose from the zip file which the user wanted to download. Is there a complete php script somewhere?

hey that's pretty cool, .. i guess that is what you were looking at. it looks like they have examples there, but i've never worked with it.

definately something i'm going to check out though =)

please post if you figure it out, .. and welcome to codenewbie!

Thanks man :rock:

Basically that's what I was reading, but I ain't a php pro...Not yet anyway. I am not too bad at perl, but not a pro though.

Cheers

i like to help people with php here so make sure you ask questions when ya got them .. the zip thing i will have to see what it is all about, .. but i'm sure we can help you with other stuff .. as well as we could use your expertise in the perl area to help other members too =)

Here is the snip of code that does the job in perl. I had to get a little help with this one.

It can be tweaked to be put in a Web setup.

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $output=`/usr/bin/unzip -l zipname.zip `;
print "<pre>\n$output\n</pre>";
}
