Wintel Apache 2.2 tar.gz script?

[Dan Wheeler]

Using WAMP with Apache 2.2 and I have a game that uploads reports to a
website using a php script. That script calls for a tar.gz file to be
unpacked, but the unpacking is failing:

*****************************
Please wait...

Command: tar xzf "/htdocs/league/lgreports/reports.tar.gz" 2>&1:
'tar' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

The unpack command returned $retval, looks like it was not completely
successful.


Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in \htdocs
\league\lgreports\unpackreports.php on line 64
********************************

As is obvious, my Apache install doesn't know how to "tar xzf" a file,
so I'm looking for advice on the best way to handle this. Is there
simply a line I'm missing in my .conf files? Is there something I
need to install? Is this folly on Windows?

Thanks in advance.
