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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Zip')
$zip = new COM("Chilkat.Zip");

$success = $zip->OpenZip('qa_data/zips/sample.zip');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Unzip to c:/temp/testDir
// If c:/temp/testDir does not yet exist, it will be auto-created.
$numFilesUnzipped = $zip->Unzip('c:/temp/testDir');
if ($numFilesUnzipped < 0) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// If, for example, the zip contained these files:

// aaa/pigs.json
// bbb/base64Cert.txt
// bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
// bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
// bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
// hamlet.xml
// hello.pdf

// then after unzipping, the following files will be created:

// c:/temp/testDir/aaa/pigs.json
// c:/temp/testDir/bbb/base64Cert.txt
// c:/temp/testDir/bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
// c:/temp/testDir/bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
// c:/temp/testDir/bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
// c:/temp/testDir/hamlet.xml
// c:/temp/testDir/hello.pdf
