I'm on PC (no UNIX boxes) and have tried many different unzipping programs to extract this .z file, but only PicoZip has allowed me to view what is inside (telling me, i think, that it's not corrupt), but i have not been able to extract it from there, either.
Anyone able to extract this file and send me the contents as a .zip or .rar file or as individual files? It is here attached, but I had to change the extension to ".zip" to upload it, so don't forget to change it back to ".z" if necessary.
I'm backing up one of my sites, and will be moving to another host. This was an expermintal site, and many of the directories won't be needed.
What tar command is needed to exclude directories from the compressed file? Could you also give an example.
also this might be the same comand, but -... (4 Replies)
I've noticed bzip2 gives a little bit better compression than gzip. So...I'm curious...what's gives the best compression out of all the compression utilities?
Thanks! (6 Replies)
I have heard that bz2 compression a relatively new compression encoding algorithm, far superior to tar and gz. I also remember that I downloaded a FreeBSD LiveCD a while back that was only a couple hundred megs instead of the usual 650ish using bz2 - big difference, I'd say. But to the point, what...

phardata.extractto
PHARDATA.EXTRACTTO(3) 1 PHARDATA.EXTRACTTO(3)PharData::extractTo - Extract the contents of a tar/zip archive to a directory
SYNOPSIS
bool PharData::extractTo (string $pathto, [string|array $files], [bool $overwrite = false])
DESCRIPTION
Extract all files within a tar/zip archive to disk. Extracted files and directories preserve permissions as stored in the archive. The
optional parameters allow optional control over which files are extracted, and whether existing files on disk can be overwritten. The sec-
ond parameter files can be either the name of a file or directory to extract, or an array of names of files and directories to extract. By
default, this method will not overwrite existing files, the third parameter can be set to true to enable overwriting of files. This method
is similar to ZipArchive.extractTo(3).
PARAMETERS
o $pathto
- Path to extract the given files to
o $files
- The name of a file or directory to extract, or an array of files/directories to extract
o $overwrite
- Set to TRUE to enable overwriting existing files
RETURN VALUES
returns TRUE on success, but it is better to check for thrown exception, and assume success if none is thrown.
ERRORS /EXCEPTIONS
Throws PharException if errors occur while flushing changes to disk.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
A PharData.extractTo(3) example
<?php
try {
$phar = new PharData('myphar.tar');
$phar->extractTo('/full/path'); // extract all files
$phar->extractTo('/another/path', 'file.txt'); // extract only file.txt
$phar->extractTo('/this/path',
array('file1.txt', 'file2.txt')); // extract 2 files only
$phar->extractTo('/third/path', null, true); // extract all files, and overwrite
} catch (Exception $e) {
// handle errors
}
?>
