There is a smart way to do it with ZipArchive. You can use a for loop with ZipArchive::statIndex() to get all the information you need. You can access the files by their index (ZipArchive::getFromIndex()) or name (ZipArchive::getFromName()).

For example:

function processZip(string $zipFile): bool
{
    $zip = new ZipArchive();
    if ($zip->open($zipFile) !== true) {
        echo '
Can\'t open zip archive!
';
        return false;
    }

    // As long as statIndex() does not return false keep iterating
    for ($idx = 0; $zipFile = $zip->statIndex($idx); $idx++) {
        $directory = \dirname($zipFile['name']);

        if (!\is_dir($zipFile['name'])) {
            // file contents
            $contents = $zip->getFromIndex($idx);
        }
    }
    $zip->close();
}
