can zip support be enabled?

You may upload zip files.

If you are asking if you can unzip files on the server, this is not possible.

nevermind i found script that'll unzip it for me.
so much more easier than uploading one file at a time

k i guess he figured it out himself. Now time for me to go get some OJ to drink.

could you send me the script you used please? thanks

for real, that would be a handy script to have, you should zip it up and put it up for download and post the link here, or just post the link to where you got it and the name of it.

yeah, i need some sort of unarchiving script and some sort of mass chmodding script (one that'd chmod files 666 and folders 777--- for phpnuke)

ok, Mr. Know Nothing About PHP just found something out

just do the same old Linux commands inside of a shell_exec() and bam!

here's an example:

well, its really simple. It doesn't have any idiotproofing though, it doesnt tell you if theres any specific problem (except for the default generated error).

Also, take a look at [url=http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/getting-started-guide/s1-zip-tar.html:3dzfol6l]This Link[/url:3dzfol6l] for linux compression and decompression commands :-)

Worked for me!

here's a note about what i posted:

it leaves permissions set to the actual php script that you ran, so you need to change permissions with these commands, i'm not 100% sure what you should do.
use:
umask
chgrp
chmod

it seems as though when i did a chmod -R 777 and a chgrp -R WWW that i was able to erase things, modify them, and chmod them like normal.

the normal chmod command only changes one single file or folder; it doesn't modify contents of a folder. the workaround for this is to use the -R tag, i did a shell_exec("chmod -R 777 Path/To/Dir"); since I don't know how i would do that with the normal php chmod command.

i've been working on this for a while now, I think I have more of an idea of how to do all of these. I've successfully been able to extract zip files and gzips (.tar.gz). do a google search for the unix versions of these commands as well as the php versions, it helped me a lot and it could help you too.
tell me if you know of any more.

you can download php unzipper here
http://www.softlinks.ru/scripts/f738.php

sorry the download site is not in english but the owner of the script site is no longer up. i know nothing about php, but this script is so easy to install and use. the only thing u need to know is how to set file and folder permissions to 777
