Hi Guys,
Hope might someone can help with this or give me some advice. Thanks beforehand.

I am trying to unzip/extract a file uploaded with the ACF file uploader.

Background:
At the moment I am uploading folders thru FTP with FileZilla and reading/showing the content of it in an iframe in the front end.
I want to make the process/flow bit easier uploading directly thru WordPress pages with the file uploader.

This is the code so far.
I am changing the directory.

I am not sure if I can write some sort of code inside of this filter or need to be something more complex using the WordPress Filesystem API which I do not have idea how to implemented yet.

function my_acf_upload_prefilter( $errors, $file, $field ) {
    // only allow admin
    if( !current_user_can('manage_options') ) {
        $errors[] = 'Only administrators may upload attachments';
    }
	
	add_filter('upload_dir', 'gist_acf_upload_dir');

    // return
    return $errors;
}

add_filter('acf/upload_prefilter/name=zip_files', 'my_acf_upload_prefilter', 10, 3);

// Custom upload directory
function gist_acf_upload_dir($param) {

    $custom_dir = '/uploads/jobs2';
    $param['path'] = '.../wp-content' . $custom_dir;
	$param['url'] = '.../wp-content' . $custom_dir;
	
	return $param;
}

Thanks!!!
