Question

I used ZipArchive class to zip file before downloading.

On execution it gives following error:

Uncaught PHP Exception Symfony\\Component\\Debug\\Exception\\FatalErrorException: \\"Compile Error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PHPEXCEL_ROOTPHPExcel/Shared/PCLZip/pclzip.lib.php' (include_path='/vendor/phing/phing/classes:/vendor/pdepend/pdepend/src/main/php:/vendor/phpmd/phpmd/src/main/php:.:/usr/share/pear:/usr/share/php')\\" at /vendor/phpoffice/phpexcel/Classes/PHPExcel/Shared/ZipArchive.php line 6"

php -m has both zip and zlib

Can anyone please help? Not sure why it is pointing to PHPExcel path as well.

Tried installing phpoffice/phpexcel using composer but it didn't help

    $path = __DIR__.'abc.log';
        $zip = new ZipArchive();
        $zippath = __DIR__.'abc.zip';
        if ($zip->open($zippath, ZipArchive::OVERWRITE) === TRUE)
        {
            // Add file to the zip file
            $zip->addFile($path);
        }

Expecting it to zip the file at a location

Answer 1

You are getting this error because PHP-ZIP extension is not installed in your server.
Follow below steps

• install the PHP-ZIP extension
• Restart the server
• Try again

I hope it will resolve your issue.
