Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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).

Answer 3

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

Answer 4

You need to check the PHP version

If php version is 5.6 then , You need to install php5.7-zip

sudo apt-get install php5.6-zip

and then

sudo service apache2 restart

Hope it helps

Answer 5

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

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.
