Are there any specific PHP classes or libraries that are recommended for handling RAR file extraction tasks more efficiently than using exec()?
Using exec() to handle RAR file extraction tasks in PHP can be inefficient and potentially insecure. To handle RAR file extraction more efficiently, it is recommended to use a PHP library like "rar" or "php-unrar" that provides native support for RAR file extraction.
// Example using the "rar" PHP library for RAR file extraction
$archive = new RarArchive('example.rar');
$entries = $archive->getEntries();
foreach ($entries as $entry) {
$entry->extract('path/to/extracted/files');
}
