[UPDATE] zip support

Under DirectAdmin, there is no ability to extract a zip file (in the ftp manager, there is the ability to extract .tar.gz files).

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks,
Jay

UPDATE:
I've written a 1-liner php script to do the unzip, but now all of the extracted files/directories are owned by apache:apache.

Any way to fix this?

I had the same problem some time ago and then I changed some settings and I thought it was fixed. Apparantly it didn't.

Can you please show me the script you used? I'll try to find a better way.

Not sure exactly what you're trying to do but... Why not unzip then FTP the stuff over to your space?

Did you know that if you are uploading some 1000 files php program or whatever, it'd be better zipping them up then unzipping them on the webserver?

I always do that for my phpBB forum. It saves me 10 minutes of uploading Wink.

Yes nOob you are correct, I would much rather upload 1 file instead of 1000. Shocked

Bondings, here is the script I used to do the unzip, this is what got me into trying to fix problems with files owned by apache:
Code:
<?php system('unzip zipfile'); ?>

As a temporary work around, why not create a .tar.gz from the zip and upload/extract that ?

That way you'll atleast be able to avoid having to upload thousands of files or ending up with apache owned files.

Confused

After you upload the file, you will see an option to Extract the file (in the same place as Copy and Rename). Just click on that and it will show you what the results will be and ask you to confirm it. The tar support is awesome in DirectAdmin.
