Unzipping a file from a remote server?

Hi there,
Does anybody know how I can unzip a file from a remote server onto my server?
I used to have a simple script to do this, but it seems I can't find it anymore.
Thanks for you help

 

try this... i tested on my server and it works. your php must have the right to exec shell commands.

<?php
// put your file's url here
$fileurl = 'http://ncu.dl.sourceforge.net/project/gate/gate/3.0/gate-3.0-build1846-DOC.zip'; 
 // download and unzip
exec('wget ' . $fileurl . ';unzip ' . basename($fileurl));
?>

PHP:

 

Hmm, doesn't seem to work :/

 

Try pclzip for a good php based class for unzipping:
