If you want to get the real name of the file without the directory name, you can just use the function basename() as the follow:<?$zip_dir = "./import/";$zip = zip_open($zip_dir."import.zip");if ($zip) { while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) { $file = basename(zip_entry_name($zip_entry)); $fp = fopen($zip_dir.basename($file), "w+"); if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry, "r")) { $buf = zip_entry_read($zip_entry, zip_entry_filesize($zip_entry)); zip_entry_close($zip_entry); } fwrite($fp, $buf); fclose($fp); echo "The file ".$file." was extracted to dir ".$zip_dir."\n<br>"; } zip_close($zip);}?>Thefore you can extract files without concern with the directory that is set inside the zip source.Remember to give write permission (w) on that directory.Hello from Brazil.Leandro
