<?php
$zip = zip_open("test.zip");
if ($zip) {
while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip)) {
echo "<p>Name: " . zip_entry_name($zip_entry) . "<br>";
// Open directory entry for reading
if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry)) {
echo "File Contents:<br>";
// Read open directory entry
$contents = zip_entry_read($zip_entry);
echo "$contents<br>";
zip_entry_close($zip_entry);
}
echo "</p>";
