I assume you put the correct PEAR/PECL files in the PEAR directory?

http://us2.php.net/zip
http://pecl.php.net/package/zip

Hi Lost

I downloaded v1.8.2, but how do you install and use it?

Are we still talking php v4.x.x or php 5 now? I need to keep to php v4.x

Will this give me the extract faciliity?

Basically I will have a zip file on the server and this zip file consists of
one main folder (the user zips a folder) and inside that you have a min of 3
sub-folders then a number of jpgs, gifs and css files in each of these
sub-folders. All I want to do is extract the zip and get the folder (and
it's sub-folders/files inside it) sat in the same directory as the zip file.
I can then take it from there.

The ExtractTo command seems perfect, but also doesn't appear to work in php
4.

Any ideas?

Thanks
