With zipfiles less than 2 GB, I have been extracting files one after one, without unziping
if (strpos(strtolower("nextfile"), "wantedfile"))
{
if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry, "r"))
{
$handle=$zip_entry['fp'];
while (!feof($handle))
{
$addcon=fread($handle, 8192);
$fd=fopen($dfile,"a");
fwrite($fd,"$addcon");
fclose($fd);
}
fclose($handle);

Answer 1

What type of access to your server do you have?

If you have ssh access then just log on and go to the directory where the file is stored type gunzip filename.zip that should unzip it. Be sure you have enough drive space for the unzipped version.. 4 gigs is a really large zip file!
Ordinarily with linux I would expect to find a .tar.gz file.
Are you sure the file is linux compatible?

Answer 2

this is a few particularly loopy compression. i might assume it fairly is no longer reliable. inspite of the undeniable fact that I fairly have seen some that have been comparable. Avast caught them as "Compression Bombs" i think of they have been called, yet they weren't viruses.
