    Hello all,

    I've ran into a problem.

    Is it possible to untar a .tar file with php.

    I haven't found many scripts to do this...
    exec('tar xvf pics-farm-ranch-20060413.tar')
    This is the only thing I found.

    All I wish to do is extract image files from this tar on the server.

    Unix
    Apache
    PHP 4

    Hope someone could help.

    -NFD

    And what's wrong with doing it in the shell? (like you've mentioned)

    oops.

    Apparently I didn't enter the correct way to untar...

    as I found that "tar -xvf pics-farm-ranch-20060413.tar" works just fine..
