简单的代码？ PHP脚本从中央服务器提取update.zip并将其解压缩到本地文件夹！

Question

Can someone post code or point to a working example of a php script that opens a known zip file located on a remote server (via http) and extracts the contents of that zip file to a folder on the same server as the calling script?

Server A calls out for zip file located on Server B
Server B sends the zip file over to server A
Server A extracts the contents of the Zip to Directory C (pub_html) on Server A

I've been going around and around on how to get this to work and it really seems like it should be super simple with lots of examples, but I can find none.

Here you go.

Alter $filename and $dest_folder at the top accordingly. $dest_folder is currently set to current folder (where the PHP script itself resides).

<?php

$filename = 'http://someplace.com/somezipfile.zip';
$dest_folder = '.';

$out_file = fopen(basename($filename), 'w');
$in_file = fopen($filename, 'r');
while ($chunk = fgets($in_file)) {
    fputs($out_file, $chunk);
}
fclose($in_file);
fclose($out_file);

$zip = new ZipArchive();
$result = $zip->open(basename($filename));
if ($result) {
    $zip->extractTo($dest_folder);
    $zip->close();
}

?>
