How to Extract tar.gz Files Using PHP PharData

In project development, there is often a need to use PHP to extract tar.gz files and then process the decompressed content. Since this requirement is uncommon and was not encountered previously, relevant online resources and the PHP manual were consulted. The solution found is that PHP's built-in PharData extension (which became an integrated component starting from PHP version 5.3.0) can handle this task.

Below is a detailed explanation of how to use PharData to extract tar.gz files in PHP:

$phar = new PharData('leixuesong.tar.gz');
// Path for extraction: specify an array or string for the file, or null to extract all. The third parameter indicates whether to overwrite.
$phar->extractTo('./tmp', null, true);
