           $ext = $array[1];  
           if($ext == 'zip')  
           {

                $location = $path . $file_name;  
                if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['zip_file']['tmp_name'], $location))  
                {  
                     $zip = new ZipArchive;  
                     if($zip->open($location))  
                     {  
                          $zip->extractTo($path);

                          $allowed_ext = array('jpg', 'png');  
                          if(in_array($file_ext, $allowed_ext))  
                          {  
                               $new_name = md5(rand()).'.' . $file_ext;  
                               $output .= '<div class="col-md-6"><div style="padding:16px; border:1px solid #CCC;"><img src="upload/'.$new_name.'" width="170" height="240" /></div></div>';

    Hello,

    I have learned a lot from your video. I have tried Upload and Extract a Zip File in Php. But, I have error message like this "Warning: scandir(upload/pic,upload/pic): The system cannot find the file specified." I just copied your code. Could you tell me what is wrong?

    Hey there! I noticed some errors in your code:

    $zip = new ZipArchive; => $zip = new ZipArchive();
    $zip->extractTo($path) => $zip->extractTo($path . $name);

    Please, correct me if i'm wrong!

    Can I use this method for the rar file. Or can you add a script code to open the rar file.
