How-to activate the ZipArchive class in PHP 5.3 on CentOS

Question

I read on the documentation I should only compile PHP 5.3.3 with "--enable-zip" parameter, but this doesn't work. I did this but class_exists('ZipArchive') always return false. What should I do next?

Answer 1

Have you tried installing ZipArchive using pecl?

$ pecl install zip

then add extension=zip.so to your php.ini
