PHP Class Zip Archive

SchoSt — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 11:15:17 GMT

Hi there,

I'd like to use the ZipArchive class within PHP but the Server tells me:

"Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in"

What can I do?

Thanks a lot,

Ron

Don't believe it's installed and you cannot do it yourself as a user, it requres admin 'root' access to the server itself. I'd be surprised if they install this for you but it never hurts to ask though seldom do hosts alter the setup of shared servers because it affects so many accounts.

A year ago I managed to obtain a PHP() info dump of the server configuration out of Admin here after something of a struggle, things may of changed since then but you are welcome to a copy.

Scroll down the thread the document is near the end.

Thanks. Seems that it's just not enabled - as you said. Sad though because I really need to create zip files to realise a manual backup...

Manual backup...

Is there not an option to export databases via the phpMyAdmin console?

Normally one would only need to create a compressed folder dynamically if you were attempting to run a script that performed a backup.

NB: the CRON often account lacks the required permissions to send email or POST data offsite
