Hello,
I was hopping that one of you would know how to setup a self-extracting php program.
This is the story:
I'd like to offer a zipped file for download. Someone unzips it on their PC and there find two
files, "extractor.php" and some other file that php can unzip. They upload these two
files to their server, direct their browser to extractor.php, enter some information, and
extractor.php unzips the other file into multiple directories/files, each adjusted to the
specifications set in extractor.php.
I know there is a way for php to unzip files such as .elg, but how to do it, and if the server needs
to be set up in some special format... I don't know. I've looked around on-line, but so
far haven't found anything.
Thanks for any input,
Sean
