Extracting a file with PHP

[the Lumpy]

Basically, I want to upload a whole package of files to my site and then extract it, rather than extract it on my computer and then upload all of them. I can get the package as .zip, .tar.gz, or .tar.bz2. Is there an easy way to do that with a PHP script? I'm still a beginner with PHP...

If that doesn't work just search the site and you should find some more classes with the same purpose.

I couldn't get any Mac extract info from php.net so I doubt they have it.
