Rar::extract

(no version information, might be only in CVS)

Rar::extract -- Extract entry from the archive

Description

bool Rar::extract ( string dir [, string filepath] )

Rar::extract() extracts entry's data to the dir. It will create new file in the specified dir with the name identical to the entry's name. If parameter filepath is specified instead dir, Rar::extract() will extract entry's data to the specified file.

Example 1. Rar::extract() example

<?php

$rar_file = rar_open('example.rar') or die("Failed to open Rar archive");

$entry = rar_entry_get($rar_file, 'Dir/file.txt') or die("Failed to find such entry");

$entry->extract('/dir/to'); // create /dir/to/Dir/file.txt
$entry->extract(false, '/dir/to/new_name.txt'); // create /dir/to/new_name.txt

?>

Example 2. How to extract all files in archive:

<?php

/* example by Erik Jenssen aka erix */

$filename = "foobar.rar";
$filepath = "/home/foo/bar/";

$rar_file = rar_open($filepath.$filename);
$list = rar_list($rar_file);
foreach($list as $file) {
    $entry = rar_entry_get($rar_file, $file);
    $entry->extract("."); // extract to the current dir
}
rar_close($rar_file);

?>

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
