I am running Virtuamin on centos 7, I am unable to install ziparchive on php 7.4, but when I switch to php 7.2, it works. I need php 7.4 to work because it is faster and wordpress script need 7.3+ to work effectively.
On Amazon Linux 2 and PHP 7.4 I finally got PHP-ZIP to install and I hope it helps someone else - by the following (note the yum install command has extra common modules also included you may not need them all):
How To Install Php Ziparchive Extension
You can enable Zip support during the installation of PHP and after the fact. This post will focus on an after-the-fact ZipArchive installation on Linux. Please read the installing Zip instruction from the PHP manual for more information.
Note the version in the example above being: 7.4.2. We will, therefore, need to install the Zip module for PHP version 7.4. Please remember to change the version number to match yours if the command requires it!
Software >> EasyApache 4 >> Customize >> PHP extensions. Here we search for zip and enable phpx.x-php-zip for all versions. Finally, we click on Review and Provision.
We mentioned that web hosting providers may disable PHP support for Zip Archive libraries by default. Well, they can also prevent you from enabling it manually and require you to reach out via live chat or internal ticket system instead. Similarly, you may solve the problem but an installed WordPress plugin may conflict with your WordPress or PHP version.
The System PHP configuration and extensions, are separate from the extensions for PHP versions provided by theMultiple-PHP tool, even when the PHP version number is the same. More information on the Multiple-PHPtool can be found here.
Run yum install phpversion-php-extension replacing version withthe PHP version number, without periods, and replacing extension with the name of thethe extension. For example, to install the ioncube-loader module for PHP 7.4:
Not every package will directly adhere to the php-extension format.Additionally, the name of the exact package may be unknown to theadministrator. Therefore, it may be necessary to search for the desiredextension in yum.
Run yum search extension replacing extension with the desired PHPextension. For example, it may be difficult to know that the zip module PHPextension is named php-pecl-zip. A good way to search for thisextension is to search via yum search zip and then stripping outpackages that are unrelated to PHP by grepping results that contain php:
PHP zip archive is a process or tool installed on your web hosting server that enable PHP script / command to archive a file or zip and unzip a file or you can say compress a file and extract a compressed file. Now your must be thinking that why do you need to compress or extract a compressed file on your web hosting server? Well, if you were to simply upload one or two files of small size then you would simply use file manager in your hosting cPanel or upload the file using FTP client like FileZilla or Core FTP. What if you have to upload hundreds or thousands of file in order to migrate a website to a new hosting server or you need to download the complete backup of your site. In either of the situations, you will need to upload multiple files one by one as file Manager and FTP clients like FileZilla transfer them one at a time and you will have to wait for too long for the transfer queue to be completed. This is why everyone prefer to compress all the files before uploading to a server or downloading from server. Compressed files are smaller in size and transfer very quickly. However, some of the web hosting providers like Godaddy does not support the PHP Zip archive feature by default and it becomes a headache when migrating a website or taking full backup of your site from such hosting services. In this post, I will show you a very simple method to enable PHP Zip Archive Support Module on your shared hosting from Godaddy.

Due to application software that cannot use the latest PHP version, you may install php-legacy alongside. That package provides the oldest still actively supported PHP branch and must be configured within the applications that require it. For detailed instruction, see Nextcloud#Migrating_to_php-legacy.
If you wish to have POSIX multi-threading you will need the parallel extension. To install the extension using pecl you are required to use a compiled version of PHP with the the thread safety support flag --enable-maintainer-zts. Currently the most clean way to do this would be to rebuild the original package with the flag. Instruction can be found on the PHP pthreads extension page.
PCNTL allows you to create process directly into the server side machine. While this may seen as something you would want, it also gives PHP the power to mess things up really badly. So it is a PHP extension that cannot be loaded like other more convenient extension. This is because of the great power it gives to PHP. To enable it PCNTL has to be compiled into PHP.
ZIP is an archive file format that supports lossless data compression. A ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed. The PHP ZipArchive class can be used to zipping and unzipping. It might be need to install the class if it is not present.
From the Downloads page select the installation package that is appropriate for your target machine. Download and run the installer, which will install and register PHP Manager's binaries with IIS. Note that only IIS versions 7.0 and above are supported. After installation is complete, launch the IIS Manager and find the "PHP Manager" feature:
When opened, the "PHP Manager" feature provides a configuration overview for the PHP installation that is registered with IIS and is currently active. If no PHP is registered with IIS, then the only action that can be performed is the registation of a new PHP version.
To register a new PHP version with IIS, first you need to download the zip archive with PHP binaries from and then extract the files from it into a folder of your choice. Note that you can also install PHP by using Web Platform Installer or the Windows installer from - the PHP Manager can be used to manage those PHP installations as well.
After clicking on "View Recommendations" link you can see all the configuration issues that exist in your PHP installation. You can review each issue description and the recommended corrective action. You can also select which configuration issues you want to be fixed:
If your server is incompatible with PHP and your most recent Elementor update is installed, you may encounter this error. You can resolve the issue by running PHP 7.4 or 7.5 (rather than 7.3 or 8.0). Install the PHP zip extension to ensure complete functionality.
You can optimize your website by reducing file sizes using the PHP ZIP module, which will help you accomplish this. Compressed files are stored in ZIP files, which are compressed files. The ability toCompressing PHP files & directories can drastically reduce the size of a website, resulting in faster loading times. The easiest way to enable this is to use cPanel, but you can also install it via the command line.
If you want to enable the Zip extension for PHP, you will need to edit the php.ini file and uncomment the line that says ;extension=php_zip.dll by removing the semi-colon. Save the file and restart the web server for the changes to take effect.
Indeed, as I mentioned, "installing php-pecl-zip resolves this".To clarify, it was expected for the config wizard to detect the missing extension, like it does for other extensions - the hanging could be a blocker for some users.
You can set up a web development environment on your Windows PC in many different ways. For example, you can use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) and install PHP on Ubuntu. On the other hand, you could use something like Docker or Xampp, WampServer, or one of the many other pre-bundled solutions.
The process of installing PHP on a Windows operating system is relatively straightforward. The steps below will take you through installing, configuring, and making PHP usable within the command prompt.
To configure PHP for the Apache web server, you must first ensure that Apache is installed on Windows. This section assumes you are using Apache Lounge, so instructions may differ if you use a different package. For example, the location of our Apache directory is C:\Apache24.
Lastly, we will cover configuring PHP for NGINX on a Windows operating system. For this section, we require you to have NGINX installed on your computer. For this tutorial, we use the default package of NGINX for Windows stored in the C:\NGINX directory.
PHP 7.1.3 is the minimum version required by phpBB 3.3. It is unlikely that this should cause any problems for extensions. If your PHP code worked in phpBB 3.1 or 3.2, it should work in phpBB 3.3 as well.
This can be done in the same ext.php file and the same is_enableable() method as before. Except now, instead of only being able to return either a true or false boolean, the method allows you to return an array of error messages for each reason why an extension can not be enabled/installed. 2ff7e9595c
