Description
Description
Currently ZipArchive relies on the filesystem, for both opening and extracting files.
Would it be possible to have it work with files (or data) in memory? Or is that a limitation of the underlying zip library?
Below is an example of ZipArchive not being able to open files from a virtual file system (probably because it's a stream).
$vfs = \org\bovigo\vfs\vfsStream::setup();
copy('foo.zip', $vfs->url() . '/foo.zip');
var_dump(file_get_contents($vfs->url() . '/foo.zip')); // file contents appears
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$zip->open($vfs->url() . '/foo.zip');
$zip->extractTo(__DIR__); // Uncaught ValueError: Invalid or uninitialized Zip object
$zip->close();

Research direction
Start with the ZipArchive open() and extractTo() behavior shown in the vfsStream example, then investigate the underlying zip library's support for streams or in-memory data. Done means ZipArchive can open and extract an archive supplied from a virtual filesystem or memory without relying on ordinary filesystem paths.
