ZipArchive::extractTo

Extract the archive contents

&reftitle.description; public `bool` `ZipArchive::extractTo` `string` `pathto` ``array``string``null```files`&null;

Extract the complete archive or the given files to the specified destination.

The default permissions for extracted files and directories give the widest possible access. This can be restricted by setting the current umask, which can be changed using `umask`.

For security reasons, the original permissions are not restored. For an example of how to restore them, see the code sample on the `ZipArchive::getExternalAttributesIndex` page.

&reftitle.parameters;

`pathto`

- Location where to extract the files.

`files`

- The entries to extract. It accepts either a single entry name or an array of names.

    <?php
    $zip = new ZipArchive;
    if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
        $zip->extractTo('/my/destination/dir/');
        $zip->close();
        echo 'ok';
    } else {
        echo 'failed';
    }
    ?>

### Extract two entries

    <?php
    $zip = new ZipArchive;
    $res = $zip->open('test_im.zip');
    if ($res === TRUE) {
        $zip->extractTo('/my/destination/dir/', array('pear_item.gif', 'testfromfile.php'));
        $zip->close();
