Answer 1

You should check which error code gives open ( http://www.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.open.php ), that will give you some help.

Error codes are this:

    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_EXISTS -10
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_INCONS - 21
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_INVAL - 18
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_MEMORY - 14
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOENT - 9
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOZIP - 19
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_OPEN - 11
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_READ - 5
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_SEEK - 4

Answer 2

ZipArchive uses file paths, not URLs.

For example, if your web server's document root is /srv/www , specify /srv/www/basedata/data.zip (or wherever the file is on the server's local file system), not http://localhost/basedata/data.zip .

If the .ZIP file is on a remote computer, change the script to download it first before extracting it, though this does not seem to be your case.

Furthermore, the user the PHP script runs as needs to have read permission for the Zip file and write permission for the destination for extracted files.

Answer 3

you are declaring your $zip (ziparchive) incorrectly

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;

is missing parentheses

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open('data.zip')) {
