Laravel 9 Upload Zip and Extract on server

In this post, I will show you how we can upload a zip file on server and extract. Follow the steps below,

I hope you all already install Laravel , if not then use this link.

Step 1. Create a controller using artisan command.

php artisan make:controller ZipController

Step 2. Make route for View and Upload

Route::get("/adv-view-creative/{id}",[ZipController::class,"view_creative"]);
Route::post("/adv-save-new-creative",[ZipController::class,"save_creative"]);

Step 3. Create View file

<div class="modal model-lg fade" id="myModal" role="dialog">
        <div class="modal-dialog" style="max-width:800px !important;">
            <!-- Modal content-->
            <div class="modal-content">
                <div class="modal-header">
                    <h4 class="modal-title">New Creative</h4>
                    <button type="button" class="close" onclick="hideModel();"
                        data-dismiss="modal">&times;</button>
                </div>
                <form action="/adv-save-new-creative" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" style="background-color: white;">
                <div class="modal-body">
                  <div class="row">
                    @csrf
                    <div class="col-sm-12">
                        <div class="form-group">
                            <label for="exampleInputEmail3">Title</label>
                            <input type="text" name="campaign_creative_title" class="form-control" id="campaign_target_url" placeholder="Title" value="@if(!empty(old('campaign_target_url'))){{old('campaign_target_url')}}@endif"/>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-12">
                      <div class="form-group">
                        <label for="exampleInputEmail3">Descriptions</label>
                        <textarea class="form-control" name="campaign_creative_desc"></textarea>
                      </div>
                    </div>
                    
                    
                    <div class="col-sm-12">
                      <div class="form-group">
                        <label>HTML 5 banner Zip upload</label>
                        <input type="file" name="file[]" multiple="multiple" class="form-control" accept=".zip" required>
                      </div>
                    </div>
                   
                    
                    <div class="col-sm-6">
                      <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Click to Action</label>
                        <select class="form-control form-control-sm" name="campaign_creative_ctr">
                            <option value="">Choose CTR</option>
                            @if(!empty($ctr))
                              @foreach ($ctr as $v_ctr)
                                <option value="{{$v_ctr->campaign_ctr_id}}">{{$v_ctr->campaign_ctr_name}}</option>
                              @endforeach
                            @endif
                        </select>
                      </div>
                    </div>
                    <div class="col-sm-6">
                      <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Target URL</label>
                        <input type="text" name="campaign_creative_target_url" class="form-control" placeholder="Target URL">
                      </div>
                    </div>

                  </div>
                </div>
                <div class="modal-footer">
                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-warning">Save</button>
                </div>
              </form>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>

Step 4. Controller methods for view and upload.

First one for view

public function view_creative($id){
        $data['info'] = "readytocode.net";
        return view("creatives",$data);
    }

Now second method for upload

public function save_creative(Request $req){
if($req->file){
                $files = $req->file('file');

                    $model=new AdvertiserCampaignCreativeModel();
                    $model->campaign_creative_title=$req->campaign_creative_title;

                    $filename = time()."-".$file->getClientOriginalName();
                    $path = public_path().'/uploads/';

                    $file->move($path, $filename);
                    $file_new_path='uploads/'. $filename;
                    $model->campaign_creative_file = 'uploads/'. $filename;

                    $file_extension=pathinfo('uploads/'. $filename, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
                    if($file_extension=="zip"){
                        $zip = new ZipArchive();
                        $zip_path = $zip->open($file_new_path);
                        if ($zip_path === TRUE) {
                            mkdir(str_replace(".","-",$file_new_path), 0777, true);
                            $zip->extractTo(str_replace(".","-",$file_new_path));
                            $zip->close();

                        }
                    }else{
                        return back()->with('error','Invalid ZIP Banner!');
                    }
                    $model->save();
           
            }
            

            return back()->with('success','New creative added.');

}

Note:  At top of controller don’t forgot to include ZipArchive, like below code.

use ZipArchive;

Now run the code and test.

For Upload the zip file on server i uses

$filename = time()."-".$file->getClientOriginalName(); 
$path = public_path().'/uploads/'; 
$file->move($path, $filename); 

For extracting i used

$zip = new ZipArchive(); 
$zip_path = $zip->open($file_new_path); 
if ($zip_path === TRUE) { 
  mkdir(str_replace(".","-",$file_new_path), 0777, true); 
  $zip->extractTo(str_replace(".","-",$file_new_path)); 
  $zip->close(); 
}

Happy Coding..
