How can a zip file be uploaded and then unpacked on a server using PHP?

To upload and unpack a zip file on a server using PHP, you can first handle the file upload using a form with enctype set to "multipart/form-data". Once the file is uploaded, you can use the ZipArchive class in PHP to extract the contents of the zip file. 

<?php
if(isset($_FILES['zip_file'])){
    $zip = new ZipArchive;
    $zip_file = $_FILES['zip_file']['tmp_name'];
    $zip->open($zip_file);
    $zip->extractTo('path/to/extracted/files/');
    $zip->close();
    echo 'Zip file uploaded and unpacked successfully.';
}
?>

<form method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="file" name="zip_file">
    <input type="submit" value="Upload and Unpack">
</form>
