7zip extension available

[ecc]

Hi,
i´ve searched a little bit, but found no page talking about an 7zip (.7z) extension for php. Is there an way to extract data from 7zip archives from within an php script?

Thank you for your help!

    You could try exec() or one of the family to do the job:

<?
    exec('p7zip -f file.7z',$ret,$err);
    // The array $ret contains the stdout response while $err contains
any error messages
?>

    I haven't really used 7-ZIP, but the Unix/Linux port p7zip is
probably going to be your best bet from the *nix CLI.

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.

Did a quick search and didn't see anything PHP specific, but there is an SDK
and someone has done something for Python that might be adaptable:

SDK:  http://www.7-zip.org/sdk.html
PyLZMA:  http://www.joachim-bauch.de/projects/python/pylzma/


LZMA might be the magic search word, since it's the algorithm 7-Zip uses.

No time to do an exhaustive search right now, but thought I'd send that much
along.
