How to extract zip file on remote server using Laravel?

Question

I'm using Laravel 5.7 and have remote server for uploading files. I'm trying to upload files from application server to remote server using league/flysystem-sftp. Everything works fine for static files but now i want to upload ZIP and unzip on remote server.

For uploading zip I'm using SFTP disk configuration in filesystems.php:

'sftp' => [
    'driver'   => 'sftp',
    'host'     => 'example.com',
    'username' => 'your-username',
    'password' => 'your-password',
    'root'     => 'my/root/path/'

],

Storage::disk('sftp')->putFileAs('zip-files', new File('/path/to/zip'), 'example.zip');

How can i extract now this uploaded ZIP file on remote server without writing SSH commands and try with same packages ?

I'm using ZipArchive too in this project and is there any way to unzip files on remote server using ZipArchive ?

You can use chumper/zipper package to extract zip files.

You can install it using composer:

composer require chumper/zipper

Now use,

$path = public_path('test.zip');
\Zipper::make($path)->extractTo('your_file_name');

I realise this is oldish now, but when calling the \Zipper::make function, I get the following error: 'PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to a member function close() on string'. Do you know what might be causing this? – James Feb 06 '20 at 13:45
