I have a zip file called myzip.zip. It contains /myzip/file1.png and /myzip/subdirectory/file2.png.

I wish to extract it to /home/me/somedirectory so I try:

$zip->extractTo('/home/me/somedirectory');

I now have:

/home/me/somedirectory/myzip/file1.png
/home/me/somedirectory/myzip/subdirectory/file2.png

But I wanted:

/home/me/somedirectory/file1.png
/home/me/somedirectory/subdirectory/file2.png

How can this be accomplished?

Did you look at the [first User Note](http://www.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.extractto.php#100802) in the [PHP Docs](http://www.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.extractto.php)? – Mark Baker Aug 19 '15 at 18:21

@MarkBaker Yes, I did, but evidently not well enough. Thank you – user1032531 Aug 19 '15 at 18:30
@AedixRhinedale That posted solution does not all subdirectories in the zip file. – user1032531 Aug 20 '15 at 14:51

In that case, read the second User Note – Mark Baker Aug 20 '15 at 14:55
@MarkBaker Now I am really feeling silly. Let me read and test. Thanks – user1032531 Aug 20 '15 at 14:57
