PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in

Question

I've been struggling with installing zip extension over PHP for a while now. I keep getting an error message while trying to use ZipArchive:

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in '...'

The result of: php -m

Result of sudo pecl list:

Package Version State
xdebug  2.5.5   stable
zip     1.15.2  stable

Also, phpinfo produced this result:

It looks like zip is installed correctly.

Is there anything else I'm missing?

Thanks.

Solution 1

check namespace, try use ZipArchive or new \ZipArchive. otherwise, provide more info on the error message

Solution 2

The secret for PHP 7.2:

sudo service httpd restart
sudo service php-fpm restart
