php zip code will NOT work on my WinXP Pro IIS installtion!!

Hi All

Please, please help.

I'm not completely thick, but php terminology for getting and installing
extensions is soooo confusing to me.

All I want to do is use the following code:

<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
$zip->extractTo('/my/destination/dir/');
$zip->close();
echo 'ok';
} else {
echo 'failed';
}
?>

But when I run it I keep getting:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: ziparchive in C...

If I take out the '$zip = new ZipArchive;' line I get:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in C...

Standard php code works fine in my IIS server, but this just won't have it.

I downloaded the correct (I think) php_zip.dll for my php 4.4.2.2
installation (I need to keep to v4), put it in the extensions folder (which
works cos I have mysql extens working from here), permissions are right and
I've been in the php.ini to uncomment the extension=php_zip.dll line, but I
still get these bloody errors!

I've done the php info page and I get:

zip
Zip support enabled

zlib
ZLib Support enabled
Compiled Version 1.2.3
Linked Version 1.2.3

DirectiveLocal ValueMaster Value
zlib.output_compression Off Off
zlib.output_compression_level -1 -1
zlib.output_handler no value no value

Is this extract feature only available to php 5 users?

How do I get the equivalent in php 4? All I want to do is extract the whole
contents of 1 zip file and put the extracted contents, should be a folder
containing various files, into another folder.

Aaaarrrggghhh!!

Please help.

Thanks

I assume you put the correct PEAR/PECL files in the PEAR directory?

Hi Lost

I downloaded v1.8.2, but how do you install and use it?

Are we still talking php v4.x.x or php 5 now? I need to keep to php v4.x

Will this give me the extract faciliity?

Basically I will have a zip file on the server and this zip file consists of
one main folder (the user zips a folder) and inside that you have a min of 3
sub-folders then a number of jpgs, gifs and css files in each of these
sub-folders. All I want to do is extract the zip and get the folder (and
it's sub-folders/files inside it) sat in the same directory as the zip file.
I can then take it from there.

The ExtractTo command seems perfect, but also doesn't appear to work in php
4.

Any ideas?

Thanks
