This is the function I use to unzip a file.
It includes the following options:
* Unzip in any directory you like
* Unzip in the directory of the zip file
* Unzip in a directory with the zipfile's name in the directory of the zip file. (i.e.: C:\test.zip will be unzipped in C:\test\)
* Overwrite existing files or not
* It creates non existing directories with the function Create_dirs($path)
You should use absolute paths with slashes (/) instead of backslashes (\).
I tested it with PHP 5.2.0 with php_zip.dll extension loaded
<?php
/**
* Unzip the source_file in the destination dir
*
* @param string The path to the ZIP-file.
* @param string The path where the zipfile should be unpacked, if false the directory of the zip-file is used
* @param boolean Indicates if the files will be unpacked in a directory with the name of the zip-file (true) or not (false) (only if the destination directory is set to false!)
* @param boolean Overwrite existing files (true) or not (false)
*
* @return boolean Succesful or not
