ZIP to PHP converter

(1/8) > >>

scancode:
This is a small application that converts a ZIP file into a self-extracting PHP file. Simply upload it to your webserver, call it once, then delete it.



Requested by icekin on teh IRC channel.

This is a very cool idea! Can it cope with tarballs (.tar or .tar.gz) as well?

gjehle:
you, sir, are awesome.
this is simply ingenious.

f0dder:
But what's the point?

Are there hosts which allow you to run PHP scripts but don't give FTP access? And don't allow .zip files from web-based upload forms? O_o

The problem is not uploading the zips, but unzipping them server-side.
Uploading a crapload of small files takes ages over FTP.
