How can I unzip files on a server using PHP?

[blackmamba5069]

I'm using XAMPP for testing a mini-website. Basically, I just want to be able to dump a few zip files into a specific folder on the server, then for them to be automatically unzipped, with the contents of each zip file saved to their own newly created directory on the server.

I'm also using Windows by the way.

And the unzipped files (which will be directories containing text files) will then be read afterwards.

Any help would be much appreciated!

You have to unzip them locally, or have console access to the server.
