I would like to download a zip archive and unzip it in memory using PHP.
This is what I have today (and it's just too much file-handling for me :) ):
// download the data file from the real page
copy("http://www.curriculummagic.com/AdvancedBalloons.kmz", "./data/zip.kmz");
// unzip it
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open('./data/zip.kmz');
if ($res === TRUE) {
$zip->extractTo('./data');
$zip->close();
}
// use the unzipped files...
Warning: This cannot be done in memory — ZipArchive
cannot work with "memory mapped files".
You can obtain the data of a file inside a zip-file into a variable (memory) with file_get_contents
Docs as it supports the zip://
Stream wrapper Docs:
$zipFile = './data/zip.kmz'; # path of zip-file
$fileInZip = 'test.txt'; # name the file to obtain
# read the file's data:
$path = sprintf('zip://%s#%s', $zipFile, $fileInZip);
$fileData = file_get_contents($path);
You can only access local files with zip://
or via ZipArchive. For that you can first copy the contents to a temporary file and work with it:
$zip = 'http://www.curriculummagic.com/AdvancedBalloons.kmz';
$file = 'doc.kml';
$ext = pathinfo($zip, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$temp = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), $ext);
copy($zip, $temp);
$data = file_get_contents("zip://$temp#$file");
unlink($temp);
As easy as:
$zipFile = "test.zip";
$fileInsideZip = "somefile.txt";
$content = file_get_contents("zip://$zipFile#$fileInsideZip");
Old subject but still relevant since I asked myself the same question, without finding an answer.
I ended up writing this function which returns an array containing the name of each file contained in the archive, as well as the decompressed contents of that file:
function GetZipContent(String $body_containing_zip_file) {
$sectors = explode("\x50\x4b\x01\x02", $data);
array_pop($sectors);
$files = explode("\x50\x4b\x03\x04", implode("\x50\x4b\x01\x02", $sectors));
array_shift($files);
$result = array();
foreach($files as $file) {
$header = unpack("vversion/vflag/vmethod/vmodification_time/vmodification_date/Vcrc/Vcompressed_size/Vuncompressed_size/vfilename_length/vextrafield_length", $file);
array_push($result, [
'filename' => substr($file, 26, $header['filename_length']),
'content' => gzinflate(substr($file, 26 + $header['filename_length'], -12))
]);
}
return $result;
}
Hope this is useful ...
