I found it useful to add this to a function.
<?php
/**
* Extracts a ZIP archive to the specified extract path
*
* @param string $file The ZIP archive to extract (including the path)
* @param string $extractPath The path to extract the ZIP archive to
*
* @return boolean TURE if the ZIP archive is successfully extracted, FALSE if there was an errror
*
*/
function zip_extract($file, $extractPath) {
$zip = new ZipArchive;
$res = $zip->open($file);
if ($res === TRUE) {
$zip->extractTo($extractPath);
$zip->close();
return TRUE;
} else {
return FALSE;
}
} // end function
?>

Make attention when using this function with apache & windows system. Windows file system use \ (backslash) instead of unix / (slash)
Use str_replace like this.
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open("file.zip")){
$path = getcwd() . "/dirToextract/";
$path = str_replace("\\","/",$path);
echo $path;
echo $zip->extractTo($path);
$zip->close();
echo 'Done.';
} else {
echo "Error";
}
?>

This function, at least from my experience, maintains/forces the directory structure within the ZIP file.
ie. if you have FOLDER1/File1.txt in the zip file and you use
$zip->extractTo('/extract', 'FOLDER1/File1.txt');
the location of the extracted file will be:
/extract/FOLDER1/File1.txt
