Extract a file from a ZIP string

Question

I have a BASE64 string of a zip file that contains one single XML file.

Any ideas on how I could get the contents of the XML file without having to deal with files o

Answer 1

If you know the file name inside the .zip, just do this:

If you have a plain string, just do this:

[edit] Documentation is there: http://www.php.net/manual/en/wrappers.php

From the comments: if you don't have a base64 encoded string, you need to urlencode() it before using the data:// wrapper.

[edit 2] Even if you already found a solution with a file, there's a solution (to test) I didn't see in your answer:

open('data::text/plain,'.urlencode($base64_decoded_string));
$zip2 = new ZipArchive;
$zip2->open('data::text/plain;base64,'.urlencode($base64_string));
