Requirements

1. PHP 5.1+
2. CodeIgniter 1.6.x - 2.0-dev
3. ZLib extension enabled

Usage

$this->load->library('unzip');

// Optional: Only take out these files, anything else is ignored
$this->unzip->allow(array('css', 'js', 'png', 'gif', 'jpeg', 'jpg', 'tpl', 'html', 'swf'));

// Give it one parameter and it will extract to the same folder
$this->unzip->extract('uploads/my_archive.zip');

// or specify a destination directory
