Installing PHP 7.3 Zip Extension

I have downloaded zip extension for PHP 7.3 on CentOS by typing the following command

yum install php73-php-pecl-zip

and added extension=zip.so to php.ini file, also restarted httpd service.

Still cannot see zip extension in phpinfo() and in my code I still get Class 'ZipArchive' not found in... error.

What should I do?

Solution

  • I copied zip.so to default extension directory

    No.

    If you use base package (php-*) you need php-pecl-zip.

    php73-php-pecl-zip is a SCL package designed for parallel installation.
