Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in

Question

I have a problem that I install 'Archive_Zip 0.1.1' on Linux server, but when I try to run the script to create the zip file it gives the fatal error

Fatal error: Class ZipArchive not found in ...

where I put the code

$zip = new ZipArchive;
var_dump($zip);
$res = $zip->open($filename, ZipArchive::OVERWRITE);
if ($res !== TRUE) {
    echo 'Error: Unable to create zip file';
    exit;
}
if (is_file($src)) {
    $zip->addFile($src);
} else {
    // echo "<br>" . dirname(__FILE__) . $src;//'/install1';
    if (!is_dir($src)) {
         $zip->close();
         @unlink($filename);
         echo 'Error: File not found';
         exit;
    }
    recurse_zip($src, $zip, $path_length);
}
$zip->close();
echo "<br>file name ".$filename;

but it doesn't find the class file.

Please tell me the solution. What should I do to resolve the problem? I also put php.ini file to the folder where script is, but it does not work.

For PHP 8 and 7.4 the extension is [no longer](https://www.php.net/manual/en/zip.installation.php) libzip. You compile PHP with `--with-zip` parameter now. And don't forget to restart Apache afterwards. — s3c, Nov 05 '21 at 14:32

For the ZipArchive class to be present, PHP needs to have the zip extension installed.

See this page for installation instructions (both Linux and Windows).

On Debian and Ubuntu, you can usually install it with:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install php-zip

Then restart your webserver. Example:

sudo systemctl restart apache2

I have installed Archive_Tar and File_Archive extensions on server – Parag Chaure Oct 06 '10 at 13:01
@parag then those aren't the right extensions, are they? The one in question here seems to be named "zip" – Pekka Oct 06 '10 at 13:05

@parag you will need to equip your server with the Zip extension. It's probably already installed on your local PC because you're using a development package like XAMPP or WAMP - those already come with the extension installed. – Pekka Oct 06 '10 at 13:25
@parag if you have no root access to your server, you will have to ask the administrator to install the extension. – Pekka Oct 06 '10 at 13:26
which extension is to be installed? can you please tell me the name of extension – Parag Chaure Oct 06 '10 at 13:44
@parag it depends on the machine. On Linux, I think this is the way to go: `In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --enable-zip configure option.` – Pekka Oct 06 '10 at 13:45

Simple solution: `sudo apt-get install php7.0-zip`. Then, edit the file `/etc/php/7.0/cli/php.ini` (In the "Dynamic Extensions" section, add the line `extension=zip.so`). This should solve it – JonyD Sep 02 '16 at 12:05

On Jessie linux `apt-get install -y libzip-dev` and `pecl install zip`, after which the extension `zip.so` has to be enabled in the `php.ini` file and apache restarted. However, when using docker, @DavidRiccitelli has the correct answer. – kregus Sep 13 '18 at 10:09

First of all, The solution for remote server:

If you are using cpanel you may have zip extension installed but not activate. You need to active it. For this case you need to go to cpanel > inside software section > click on PHP version. Then find zip and check it. Now save.

You should see like the image.

Refresh page. The error should disappear.

Note: If you dont found, contact server provider. They will install for you.

If you have WHM available it is easier.

Log in to WHM.

Go to EasyApache 4 (or whatever version u have) under Software tab.

Under Currently Installed Packages click Customize.

Go to PHP Extensions, in search type "zip" (without quotes),

you should see 3 modules

check all of them,

click blue button few times to finish the process.

This worked for me. Thankfully I've WHM available.

You also need to compile PHP with zip support. The manual says the following:

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --enable-zip configure option.

It's not enough to simply install the correct extensions on the server. Have a look at the installation instructions link Pekka posted earlier. My answer is just a clarification of his.

yes, but where should I run this commands on the server so that php runs with zip support – Parag Chaure Oct 06 '10 at 13:15
Is it a server that you control? If so I believe it's part of the make command when installing PHP. If it's not a server that you control then the only option for you is to try to have the sys admin do it. Sorry I can't be more precise-I've never installed PHP on a linux server from scratch. – Jeremy Oct 06 '10 at 13:22
I can confirm. Installing all those packages did not work. I had to ./configure PHP again with the `--enable-zip` option and make && make install again (PHP 7.4.8 debian). – Mtxz Aug 07 '20 at 21:47

I had the same issue with CentOS and cPanel installed server. I installed zipArchive package via cPanel and didn't worked as expected. After trying with so many fixes suggested each and everywhere just the below worked for me.

First find the name for the correct package with the below command

yum search zip |grep -i php

Then use the below code.

yum install your_zip_package_name_with_php_version

In my case correct code to install zipArchive was

yum install php-pecl-zip.x86_64

I had the solution from this link. How can I inslatt zipArchive on PHP 7.2 with CentOS 7?

And this installation somehow enabled that package too and it also restarted the effecting services and after the completion of the execution of the above code zipArchive issue was gone.

PHP 5.2.0 and later

Linux systems

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --enable-zip configure option.

Windows users need to enable php_zip.dll inside of php.ini in order to use these functions.

If you are running into this error while using a Docker image and that you are calling the class properly, or that the error comes from an up-to-date library, then the zip module is probably missing.

Assuming we use docker-compose, we can confirm it's missing by running docker-compose run php php -m for instance and see that zip is not listed.

To install it in your image, modify your Dockerfile so it does the same as this example.

FROM php:7.3-apache 

RUN set -eux \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y libzip-dev zlib1g-dev \
    && docker-php-ext-install zip

Then rebuild the image with docker-compose build php and you are good to go.

For PHP 7.4 > The ZipArchive is not longer present by default and you need to install and configure it.

I strongly suggest using a library which you can just include in your project - like https://github.com/zanysoft/laravel-zip This library is just a wrapper for the native ZipArchive

You can use the following script to find the currently installed PHP versions:

# /usr/local/cpanel/bin/rebuild_phpconf --current

Once you have identified that version of PHP, you can then install the missing "Zip" module. You can install them with the following command:

yum install ea-phpXX-php-zip*

1) You should require your file with ZipArchive file.

require 'path/to/file/ZipArchive.php';

2) Or use __autoload method of class. In PHP 5 it is a greate method __autoload().

function __autoload($class_name) {
    require_once $class_name . '.php';
}

$obj  = new MyClass1(); // creating an object without require.
