I am creating a back up system for a content management system. This backup grabs a copy of the database and all of the files in a 'userfiles' folder, tars it up and allows the client to download it.This works fine.I am having issues with importing the file. The files in tarball keep their location. On my Mac I am using XAMPP for local testing. As a result I am getting a file path like this in the tarball.\[code\]/Applications/XAMPP/xampp_files/htdocs/work/cms/userfiles/..\[/code\]However on Linux I am getting a mysterious folder wrapping this. Please note [client] means \[code\]/[client] 2/data/clients/[client]/userfiles/\[/code\]The '[client] 2' folder doesn't exist. Its a bit of a mystery as to why it is there. I am using the PEAR Tar library.Instead of playing around with the Tar library is there a way to extract the data folder from the '[client] 2' directory so I am just left with\[code\]/data/client/[client]/userfiles/\[/code\]This will then allow me to extract and overwrite the files into the correct directory.Thanks in advance for any advice given.
