Check this link out:

http://us2.php.net/manual/en/book.rar.php

Using that extension, you can do something like this:

$rar_file = rar_open('example.rar') or die("Can't open Rar archive");

$entries = rar_list($rar_file);

foreach ($entries as $entry) {
    echo 'Filename: ' . $entry->getName() . "\n";
    echo 'Packed size: ' . $entry->getPackedSize() . "\n";
    echo 'Unpacked size: ' . $entry->getUnpackedSize() . "\n";

    $entry->extract('/dir/extract/to/');
}

rar_close($rar_file);
