## PHP 4

Zip support before PHP 4.1.0 is experimental.

Because the PHP 4 zip extension is unmaintained we recommend that the PECL extension is used rather than the bundled one.

### Linux systems

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the `--with-zip[=DIR]` configure option, where [DIR] is the prefix of the ZZIPlib library install.

### Windows

Windows users need to enable `php_zip.dll` inside of &php.ini; in order to use these functions.

## PHP 5.2.0 and later

### Linux systems

In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the `--enable-zip` configure option.

### Windows

Windows users need to enable `php_zip.dll` inside of &php.ini; in order to use these functions.
