DS_Store file is created on ZipArchive::extractTo

I'm creating a PHP script, which supposed to extract a zip archive stored on the php file directory to a folder.
Everything works well, but when I check te result, I find 2 folders under the directory: a folder with the name of the zip archive, and another folder named __MACOSX. I don't know how this folder came there, especially as I'm using Windows 7. Second, in each folder there is a file called .DS_Store.
Now, I don't know how these things got there. This is my code:

$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('File.zip')) {
    $path = getcwd() . "/details/" . trim($id) . "/";
    $path = str_replace("\\","/",$path);
    echo $path;
    echo $zip->extractTo($path);
    $zip->close();
    echo 'ok';
} else {
    echo 'failed';
}

This is the only code that extracts the zip file, or touching it, and as you can see, there is nothing like __MACOSX or .DS_Store.

Can you please help me?

Solution

  • File.zip originated on a OSX system. __MACOSX and .DS_Store have 0 usage or bearing on any other OS. Delete / Ignore them and keep trucking.

    As an aside, you may want to add the stated file system objects to your project .gitignore.
