How to extract .rar file on cpanel

You need to have php compiled with rar extension to use that script.
No webhost has it installed by default due to licensing issues.

@ Gill Thanks For Codes Bro, But when i try to use those first 2 Codes they shows error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function rar_open() in /path/ on line 7

or you can use a ftp client what can extract .rar files.

if am not mistaken you should use privacy policy,Terms of use, do you save user login details etc

I tried your wap ftp client nice but it extracted only one .rar file and now doesn't extract more why?

By default its not possible if unrar is installed on the server i think u can do it through php or ssh commands


Example #1 Rar::extract() example

<?php

$rar_file = rar_open('example.rar') or die("Failed to open Rar archive");

$entry = rar_entry_get($rar_file, 'Dir/file.txt') or die("Failed to find such entry");

$entry->extract('/dir/to'); // create /dir/to/Dir/file.txt
$entry->extract(false, '/dir/to/new_name.txt'); // create /dir/to/new_name.txt

?>

Example #2 How to extract all files in archive:

<?php


$filename = "foobar.rar";
$filepath = "/home/foo/bar/";

$rar_file = rar_open($filepath.$filename);
$list = rar_list($rar_file);
foreach($list as $file) {
   $entry = rar_entry_get($rar_file, $file);
   $entry->extract("."); // extract to the current dir
}
rar_close($rar_file);

?>
