In php of course have you tried: mv mytar.tar /my/path/to/dir/; tar -xpf /my/path/to/dir/mytar.tar this should work, but there may be a more direct unix-y way to do it.

In php of course Hello, I am making a php file that untars files. What I can't seem to figure out is how to untar a file into another folder. I have tried: tar -xpf file.tar /new/folder/* & and & tar -xpf file.tar /new/folder/ does anyone know how to do this?
