After tearing my hair out for eight hours, I finally figured out how to untar a file (yes, I know
about fopen and sockets). You need to specify /bin/sh -c "command". For example:
<?php
exec('/bin/sh -c "/bin/tar -xzf /tmp/'.$filename.' install/desc-file
install/info-file install/deps-file"');
?>
Note the quotes around the real command.
Hope this helps somebody,
