PHP - Extracting all files of rar archive to main folder

Question

I have a rar file with the many files and folders. I want to extract files in the sub-folders of the rar file to the main folder.

I have tried this:

$archive = RarArchive::open('example.rar');

$entries = $archive->getEntries();

foreach ($entries as $entry)
    $entry->extract($dir);

$archive->close();

However this extracts the files to the same folder, rather than the main folder.

Any suggestions?

i tried an own solution, and it's works:

$archive = RarArchive::open('example.rar');

$entries = $archive->getEntries();

foreach ($entries as $entry)
{
        $fileinfo = pathinfo($entry->getName());
        copy("rar://".$file."#".$entry->getName(), $dir.'/'.$fileinfo['basename']);
}

$archive->close();

for don't extract folders (empty folders), we can put

if(!empty($fileinfo['extension']))

before copy function.

thanks to me :-)
