Cannot instantiate non-existent class: ziparchive in /homepages/12/

[adam291086]

Why can't i use the class in this script, am i missing something?

 

 

<?php
     $zip = new ZipArchive;
     $res = $zip->open('myzipfile.zip');
     if ($res === TRUE) {
         $zip->extractTo('rubberduckiee files/');
         $zip->close();
         echo 'ok';
     } else {
         echo 'failed';
     }
?> 

 

you can see my php install info here http://www.rubberduckiee.co.uk/admin/FTP/code/info.php

r u using PHP5. I think ZIPArchive is included from PHP5.

Try printing out the phpinfo() and chk whether it is included

what are the properties for using the shell comman ???

 

shell_exec("zip")

[adam291086]

i mean i can unzip and file like

 

<?php

function unzip($zip_file, $src_dir, $extract_dir)
{
copy($src_dir . "/" . $zip_file, $extract_dir . "/" . $zip_file);
chdir($extract_dir);
shell_exec("unzip $zip_file");
echo "unziped";
}

$file = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/admin/FTP/code/zip/';
$filename = 'myzipfile.zip';
$dir = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/admin/FTP/code/zip/rubberduckiee files/';

unzip($filename,$file,$dir);
?>

 

can i do something similar for zipping a folder?

can i do something similar for zipping a folder?

 

If your server has zip installed. Its not the typical compression application used on Linux.

[adam291086]

so i wont be able to do something similar?

Not unless your server has the zip program installed.

 

You could of course use tar which offers a better compression algorithm but is unable to be unpacked by regular windows users using zinzip for instance.
