How to install zip module php-zip on Centos & Fedora VPS or dedicated server?
Due to an issue with the packaging of zip functionality within Centos & Fedora’s PHP package, the yum package php-zip, which was available for Fedora 15, is not available in Fedora 16. This is actually a “feature”, not a “bug”, but either way, getting zip support in PHP now takes a few extra steps.
1. Install dependencies as root or using sudo: yum install pcre-devel gcc zlib zlib-devel
2. Install zip module using PECL (PEAR‘s sister):pecl install zip
3. Edit the main PHP configuration file to register the new module. Add this text:
extension=zip.so;
a few lines before this:
Module Settings
in /etc/php.ini, as root or using sudo, like this:
nano /etc/php.ini
4. Restart your web server as root or using sudo:
service httpd restart
5. Check that support is enabled using phpinfo(). You should have a section on your phpinfo() page that looks like the image below.
