VIPSoft\\Unzip
==============

[](#vipsoftunzip)

A wrapper around ZipArchive to extract .zip files.

This is a refactoring of my Piwik\_Unzip\_ZipArchive class. It now requires php 5.3.6+, uses namespaces, adheres to object calisthenics, and is re-licensed as MIT.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Simple to use!

    ```
    use VIPSoft\Unzip\Unzip;

    $unzipper  = new Unzip();
    $filenames = $unzipper->extract($zipFilePath, $extractToThisDir);
    ```
- Guards against malicious filenames in the archive
