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 "
" . dirname(__FILE__) . $src;//'/install1';
    if (!is_dir($src)) {
         $zip->close();
         @unlink($filename);
         echo 'Error: File not found';
         exit;
    }
    recurse_zip($src, $zip, $path_length);
}
$zip->close();
echo "
file name ".$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.

I'm not seeing it here, so I'd like to add that on Debian/Ubuntu you may need to enable the extension after installing the relative package. So:

sudo apt-get install php-zip
sudo phpenmod zip
sudo service apache2 restart

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.

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.

For PHP 7.x

sudo apt-get install php-zip

For PHP 5.x

sudo apt-get install php5.x-zip
// (for example sudo apt-get install php5.6-zip)

And then restart the Apache server

sudo service apache2 restart

For Centos 7 and PHP 7.3 on Remi

Search for the zip extension:

$ yum search php73 | grep zip
php73-php-pecl-zip.x86_64 : A ZIP archive management extension

The extension name is php73-php-pecl-zip.x86_64. To install it in server running single version of PHP, remove the prefix php73:

$ sudo yum --enablerepo=remi-php73 install php-pecl-zip #for server running single PHP7.3 version
$ #sudo yum --enablerepo=remi-php73 install php73-php-pecl-zip # for server running multiple PHP versions

Restart PHP:

$ sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

Check installed PHP extensions:

$ php -m
[PHP Modules]
apcu
bcmath
bz2
...
zip
zlib

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

user_4482269 · Answer

For CentOS based server use

yum install php-pecl-zip.x86_64

Enable it by running: echo "extension=zip.so" >> /etc/php.d/zip.ini

Try to write \ZIPARCHIVE instead of ZIPARCHIVE.

user_6569224 · Answer

namespace

If you get this problem after adding namespace you can use the global namespace (backslash \ ):

$zip = new \ZipArchive;
