have you tried:
mv mytar.tar /my/path/to/dir/; tar -xpf /my/path/to/dir/mytar.tar
this should work, but there may be a more direct unix-y way to do it.

Subject: [PHP] using tar to untar a file into a certain dir... In php of
course
Hello,
I am making a php file that untars files. What I can't seem to figure out
is how to untar a file into another folder. I have tried:
tar -xpf file.tar /new/folder/*
& and &
tar -xpf file.tar /new/folder/
does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you,
