PHP: how to retrieve the filename of the file contained in .gz?

Question

My test.gz contains for instance : image1.jpg.

How can I decompress the test.gz so it gives me image1.jpg ?

I tried that method:

$file = gzopen($file_name, 'rb');
$out_file = fopen($out_file_name, 'wb');

but it supposes you need to know the filename contained in the .gz file

You need to use PHP PharData to extract and read its content.

To extract tar or tar.gz :

    $phar = new PharData('myphar.tar');
    $phar->extractTo('/full/path');

And to list all files, you can use :

archive = new PharData('/upload/directory/myphar.tar.gz');

foreach (new RecursiveIteratorIterator($archive) as $file) {
    echo $file . "<br />";
}
