<?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.

// Untar a .tar archive.
$tar = new CkTar();

// Untar into c:/temp/untarDir.  The directory tree(s) contained
// within the TAR archive will be re-created rooted at this
// directory.
$tar->put_UntarFromDir('/Users/chilkat/temp/untarDir');

// If any filepaths within the Tar archive are absolute,
// automatically make them relative by removing the first
// forward or backward slash.  This protects from untarring
// files to unexpected locations.
$tar->put_NoAbsolutePaths(true);
