<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$gzip = new CkGzip();

// Ungzip and untar.
$bNoAbsolute = true;

$untarToDirectory = '/temp/test';
// bNoAbsolute tells the component to convert all absolute paths
// found in the .tar to relative paths.   For example, if the .tar
// contains a file with an absolute path such as
// "/usr/bin/something.exe" it will
// be extracted to "/temp/test/usr/bin/something.exe"
$success = $gzip->UnTarGz('test.tar.gz',$untarToDirectory,$bNoAbsolute);
if ($success != true) {
    print $gzip->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
