Yeah, that should work. The "Phar" library ships with standard PHP. Although it's mainly written for the purpose of handling executable PHP archives (.phar files, which are like the PHP equivalent of Java's .jar files), but since the phar format is compressed, it also includes functions for doing plain compression and decompression.
Specifically, the PharData class lets you work with zip and tar files without the phar metadata in them. http://php.net/manual/en/class.phardata.php -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.
