You should check which error code gives open (http://www.php.net/manual/en/ziparchive.open.php), that will give you some help.

Error codes are this:

    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_EXISTS -10
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_INCONS - 21
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_INVAL - 18
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_MEMORY - 14
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOENT - 9
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_NOZIP - 19
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_OPEN - 11
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_READ - 5
    ZIPARCHIVE::ER_SEEK - 4

I've got the error number 19 it's mean its not zip archive but no, the file is zip archive and placed on the same directory with the script – opraz17 Jun 17 '13 at 07:23
What is your php version ? have you tried with another zip files ? there is some php version with a bug that you can't open zip files with more size than 1.5 gb ~ https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=55383 – Xavi Jun 17 '13 at 07:32

ZipArchive uses file paths, not URLs.

For example, if your web server's document root is /srv/www, specify /srv/www/basedata/data.zip (or wherever the file is on the server's local file system), not http://localhost/basedata/data.zip.

If the .ZIP file is on a remote computer, change the script to download it first before extracting it, though this does not seem to be your case.

Furthermore, the user the PHP script runs as needs to have read permission for the Zip file and write permission for the destination for extracted files.

you are declaring your $zip (ziparchive) incorrectly

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;

is missing parentheses

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive();
if ($zip->open('data.zip')) {

`new ZipArchive` is same as `new ZipArchive()` – Justinas Feb 24 '17 at 12:22
