I need to be able to create an archive(zip) file with password protection using PHP. I am using Laravel 5.4 and PHP 7.1 version. I looked at this link here for ZipArchive class documentation in PHP. I also looked at here for setPassword function. But appears that creation of password protected archives is not supported. It will be a massive surprise for me if it is not possible to create password protected archive in a mature programming language such as PHP 7.1.
So I guess I must be missing something. Can someone point me to the right direction? E.g. a sample example or open source third party library or extension to achieve this will be greatly appreciated.
