Installation

Linux systems

In order to use these functions PHP must be compiled with ZIP support by using the --with-zip configure option.

Prior to PHP 7.4.0, libzip was bundled with PHP, and to compile the extension one needed to use the --enable-zip configure option. Building against the bundled libzip was discouraged as of PHP 7.3.0, but still possible by using the --without-libzip configure option.

A --with-libzip=DIR configure option has been added to use a system libzip installation. libzip version 0.11 is required, with 0.11.2 or later recommended.

Windows

As of PHP 8.2.0, php_zip.dll DLL must be enabled in php.ini. Previously, this extension was built-in.

Installation via PECL

Information for installing this PECL extension may be found in the manual chapter titled Installation of PECL extensions. Additional information such as new releases, downloads, source files, maintainer information, and a CHANGELOG, can be located here: » https://pecl.php.net/package/zip.

Getting error

configure: error: Please reinstall the libzip distribution

when compiling this extension for php 7.3?

You need to install the 'libzip' package.

In Dockerfile you would do this like:

# Install zip
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install -y \
libzip-dev \
&& docker-php-ext-install zip

SOLVET "No package 'libzip' found":

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig/

$ ./configure \
...
--with-zip \
...

Configuration OK

$ make && make install

checking for zip archive read/write support... yes
checking for libzip >= 0.11... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libzip >= 0.11) were not met:

No package 'libzip' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBZIP_CFLAGS
and LIBZIP_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
