Can't Extract ZIP Archives

[willhigg]

Hello,
In my file manager, I can no longer extract zip archives.
I used to be able to, but now the button is literally grayed out.
When I clicked view, it said 'Zip archive data, at least v1.0 to extract'.
In case you were wondering, it is only 8 MB, and I have heaps of space available.
And trust me, I DO NOT want to individually upload all the files, it would take ages.
Cheers,
Will

You could use PHP to help accomplish the task.
This documentation should help out: http://php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.extractto.php

Hi caftpx,

Could you please expand on that? I mean, do I have to create a separate PHP file and run it in file manager using any of the examples in the link you provided?

I have a big ZIP file with a lot of folders and images. It would take me days to pass everything.

Thanks,

Wilfredo

You would have to create a PHP file that has the code to extract the content and visit it via browser.
How large is the ZIP file and how long would it take to extract generally on your end? I believe there's a 30 second PHP execution limit.
