Answer 1

you could probably do this:

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ziparchive-getfromname.php

it's a function in http://php.net/manual/en/book.zip.php

Answer 2

From the PHP manual: ZipArchive::getFromName(). This is exactly what you need.

<?php
$z = new ZipArchive();
if ($z->open(dirname(__FILE__) . '/test_im.zip')) {
    $string = $z->getFromName("mytext.txt");
    echo $string;
}
?>
