Problem with ZipArchive

[davidz]

I get this error when I try to create a new zip file:

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'ZipArchive' not found

 

Here is my code:

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive();
$filename = "doc.zip";
$zip->open($filename, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE);
$zip->addFile("test.frm","test.frm");
$zip->addFile("test.dat","test.dat");
$zip->close();
?>

 

I'm running apache version 2.0.54 on Fedora Core 4 with php version 5.2.1

I'm pretty sure I have zip enabled because php -m shows zip as a module:

[root@athena etc]# php -m
[php Modules]

SPL

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!

hi dood,

I am currently using this

<a href=http://www.phpconcept.net/pclzip/man/en/index.php?methods-create>pclzip.lib + how to use me!</a>

heres the <a href=http://www.phpconcept.net/pclzip/index.en.php#download> dl page </a>

 

I was stuck on zips for ages till i found it the examples are really good use that first link to find out how to use this .lib

 

I hope that helps.

 

 

WORD

p.s. it looks like you dont actually have the class you are calling on the system your calling it from,

Read the documentation on the pclzip site it explains it really well, also this axplains classes nicely <a href=http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/85/0.php>wrinting A CLASS</a>

I've looked at that before.  I would prefer to use the built in functions, but I will investigate pclzip.  Thanks for the link!
