In other words for 7-Zip, this PHP script uses “Extract To” instead of “Extract Here”.
This saves you the trouble of even launching your favorite FTP client program to upload the ZIP archive file.Īn important note is that this script extracts the content of the archive into a new directory with the same name of the archive file. This PHP script works slightly different than The Unzipper by allowing you to upload ZIP files from your web browser and then the script will automatically extract once the upload has completed.
So if you don’t see the archive file that you want to extract, double check the location of the unzipper PHP script and the ZIP/GZIP file. The Unzipper will only list any ZIP/GZIP files that are located in the same directory as the PHP script in the drop down menu. All you need to do is upload a PHP file and access the file from your web browser. The Unzipper is a PHP script that can extract ZIP and GZIP archives on webservers. It would be safer to extract the ZIP archive from an empty folder to prevent accidentally overwriting an existing file. Unlike cPanel that prompts you for the path to extract the files, eXtplorer will simply extract the files to the folder where it currently resides. Once you’ve done that, browse to the archive file which you want to extract, right click on it and select “Extract Archive”. eXtplorer is very easy to install as all you need to do is upload the whole directory to your webserver, access the URL of the uploaded folder from your web browser and you can login with the default username and password “admin” (without the quotes).Īfter logging in, you will be prompted to change the admin password for security purposes. Since it is a fully featured web based file manager, the software itself contains 415 files which require uploading to your server first. If your web server doesn’t have cPanel, do not fret because here is an alternative free web based file manager called eXtplorer that allows you to extract archives. You will then be prompted for the path to the file that you wish to extract.ĬPanel file manager supports extracting ZIP, GZ and BZ2 archives. All you need to do is right click on the archive file and select extract. If you have access to your shared server’s cPanel, then very likely there is a web based file manager that you can use to extract zipped files that are located on the server. CPanel is the most popular control panel that is used by many web hosts.
