PHP - ZipArchive is enabled but not found

Question

When I look at phpinfo I see that Zip is enabled: enter image description here

extension_loaded('zip') // <- returns true.
function_exists('zip_open') // <- returns true.
class_exists('ZipArchive', false) // <-returns false.

When I try to create a ZipArchive object, I get error: Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found

PHP Version 5.4.11

@JurisMalinens: that probably won't help, since he would be getting something like `"Class 'my\namespace\ZipArchive' not found"` if it were a namespace issue... — Alex Shesterov, Aug 26 '13 at 13:27
what about other zip functions? What does `var_dump(function_exists('zip_open'));` say? — Alex Shesterov, Aug 26 '13 at 13:37
are you run commands in command line? maybe `zip` extension is not loaded for command line. — mkjasinski, Aug 26 '13 at 16:20
I just do what @Juris Malinens said, just put a leading backslash "\" before ZipArchive ;) Since I've got the same issu as you — Rado, Apr 18 '17 at 12:22

Found the fix by reading this mediatemple kb article. I already had zip.so in /usr/lib64/php/modules/

Thing missing was extension=zip.so entry in php.ini

After adding that entry and restarting Apache, ZipArchive is now recognized.
