Install php-zip on php 5.6 on Ubuntu

Question

I can't install php-zip on my Ubuntu VM with the last php5.6.

Can't find find anything clear on it.

I still get that Apache error :

PHP Fatal error:  Class 'ZipArchive' not found in /var/www/uta/system/library/PHPExcel/PHPExcel/Writer/...

Thanks

Did you follow the instructions at http://php.net/manual/en/zip.installation.php ? I know recompiling PHP from source is not ideal but it's the most reliable way to get exactly what you need out of it, in my opinion. — apokryfos, Jun 29 '16 at 15:52

Try either

Then, you might have to restart your web server.

If you are installing on centos or fedora OS then use yum in place of apt-get. example:-

sudo yum install php-zip or sudo yum install php5.6-zip and sudo service httpd restart

Depending on PHP version, you'll have to install php5.6-zip, php7.0-zip, php7.1-zip php7.2-zip. You may have 3 PHP version (that's my case). Be sure to get the one you need. It's not always easy to know if you use a CMS for example. – jcm69 Jul 18 '17 at 13:27
Nailed it, thanks. I had recently updated my PHP version, so needed to re-install the correct version of php5.6.zip. Thanks – itsricky Oct 06 '17 at 02:23

I am now getting `Unable to locate package` for both those `apt-get`s. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18774568/installing-php-zip-extension may help more now. – Goose Oct 16 '17 at 21:16
