If you have shell_exec access via php, you can run gunzip and then tar
through the browser.

Here's a sample that does something similar:

DW has changed much since I wrote the script above, you should only
need the gunzip and untarring portions of it now.

When you craft your own php file and upload it to do this, I seem to
remember having to give the php file and the directory it was in full
permissions (777) so that it could create the files and directories.
