Zip files & PHP

how if you copy your text and paste it into new text file, e.g: world.txt
<?
$filename = "world.txt";
$fp = fopen($filename, "r");
$buf = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
echo $buf;
?>
hope can help.

one solution would be to use COM (if your server is windows)
another would be to use the OLE class form pear(go to http://pear.php.net/ and search for OLE)

... sorry I've posted to the wrong question

I need a complete code plz for openning a Microsoft Word document which already exist ....

Please don't create more confusion than needed. This thread is about zip files, this one http:Q_20961487.html is about word files (not "world" *laughing*).
unzipping files in PHP:
system("unzip -a -q yourfile.zip");

<?php
system("unzip -a -q word.zip");
?>

I tried this code but my file "word.zip" still zipped ...
Are you sure that is the code  :)

1. Are you sure you have the "unzip" command? Try specifying the full location to it

How I can check if I have it or not plz let me know...

2 & 3 is ok .... but 1 I could not check

this should give you a clue:
<?php
system("unzip --help 2>&1");
