PHP: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: ziparchive

vxc69 · 04-10-2007, 04:37 PM

Hello,

I'm writing a script to create a zip archive. I get the error "Cannot instantiate non-existent class: ziparchive in test.php on line 51".

Lines 50, 51 and 52:

Code:

	  
50: fclose($fh);
51: $zip = new ZipArchive;
52: $zipfile = getcwd() . "/" . $User . "-" . $date . "-" . $dirname . ".zip";

PHP was configured with "--with-zip" and it says Zip is enabled under phpinfo()'s Zip section.

What am I missing here?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Couldn't figure it out but I found a pear function to get the job done.

If anyone's interested you can find it here.

Another alternative I found was: http://codewalkers.com/seecode/65.html.

Which version of php are you using?
On which OS?
It may not be working because you don't have the ZZIPlib library on your machine?

for later version of PHP you can install it with a package? If you have yum then I think that it is the following that you need

Code:

yum install php-zip

The problem is, I'm running the scripts on a shared server.

The version is PHP 4.3.11 and according to http://au.php.net/zip it looks like you're right.

But my problem was solved using the Pear function I mentioned in my previous post.

Thanks,
