How can I install ziparchive on php 7.4?

Question

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.

Answer 1

sudo apt-get install php7.4-zip

This works in ubuntu 18.04

Answer 2

I am on Debian 9, which does not ship with PHP7.4, but it can be installed if you add the repository from Sury.

sudo apt install ca-certificates apt-transport-https
wget -q https://packages.sury.org/php/apt.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://packages.sury.org/php/ stretch main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/php.list

After that, I ran this with success:

apt install php7.4-zip

Answer 3

Maybe you would like to take a look on this post: https://www.cloudbooklet.com/upgrade-php-version-to-php-7-4-on-ubuntu/

Basically, it tells you to:

Add PPA for PHP 7.4 Add the ondrej/php which has PHP 7.4 package and other required PHP extensions.

sudo apt install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php
sudo apt update

Then you can install the extension

sudo apt install php7.4-zip

Or install all the commonly used ones:

sudo apt install php7.4-common php7.4-mysql php7.4-xml php7.4-xmlrpc php7.4-curl php7.4-gd php7.4-imagick php7.4-cli php7.4-dev php7.4-imap php7.4-mbstring php7.4-opcache php7.4-soap php7.4-zip php7.4-intl -y

Answer 4

This is how I installed it on my ubuntu:-

For PHP

sudo apt-get install php7.0-zip

For Centos

You can try: yum install php-pecl-zip.x86_64

Try installing that and enabling it by running: echo "extension=zip.so" >> /etc/php.d/zip.ini

NOTE: Make sure to restart your server after install the above

sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart or sudo service nginx restart
