Yeah, that should work. The "Phar" library ships with standard PHP.
Although it's mainly written for the purpose of handling executable PHP
archives (.phar files, which are like the PHP equivalent of Java's .jar
files), but since the phar format is compressed, it also includes
functions for doing plain compression and decompression.

Specifically, the PharData class lets you work with zip and tar files
without the phar metadata in them.
