note 26399 added to ref.zip

WOW ... after weeks and weeks of research I thought I'd make somebody elses life a little easier. If you're wondering how to make PHP 4.2.3 read windows zip files (winzip, pkzip, etc) do this: NOTE: THIS IS FOR WINDOWS SERVERS NOT LINUX OR OTHER. You need zziplib for Linux. http://zziplib.sourceforge.net/ ON PHP WINDOWS SERVER 1) Grab the php_zip.dll from the extensions dir in php-4.3.0pre2-Win32.zip 2) Add a line extension=php_zip.dll to your php.ini 3) Restart your web server php_zip.dll obviously works on PHP 4.3.0pre2 but you can't run Zend Optimizer on PHP 4.3 (yet). You can run Zend Optimizer on PHP 4.2.3 but it doesn't ship with php_zip.dll. The php_zip.dll that ships with PHP 4.3.0pre2 may even work with older version but I haven't tested that. For documentation on how to use the zip functions (not the gzip functions that are documented on the php site) go here: http://zziplib.sourceforge.net/zziplib.html Newbie Von Greenhorn -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.zip.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26399 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26399 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26399
