XAMPP PHP8 Zip

[traymond]

I'm working on implementing the PhpSpreadsheet (https://phpspreadsheet.readthedocs.io/) on PHP 8, using XAMPP with PHP 8.0x (not 8.1). All's well until it actually tries to write the file, and gives the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "ZipStream\Option\Archive" not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\<snip>\phpspreadsheet\vendor\phpoffice\phpspreadsheet\src\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Xlsx.php:549 Stack trace: #0 C:\xampp\htdocs\<clip>.php(2814): PhpOffice\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Xlsx->save('C:/ReportExport...') #1 {main} thrown in C:\xampp\htdocs\<clip>\phpspreadsheet\vendor\phpoffice\phpspreadsheet\src\PhpSpreadsheet\Writer\Xlsx.php on line 549

The underlying problem is that the Zip extension's not included with XAMPP. Following https://www.php.net/manual/en/zip.installation.php - I tried to download the DLL, but they're for PHP 7.3 or 7.4. I've tried all 4 of the 7.4 versions, without success.

Any hints/suggestions on how to get the ZipArchive working? Thanks in advance for your time.

PHP 8.2 comes with zip extension, but you need to activate it first.
To do so please follow these steps:

• open your \xampp\php\php.ini
• search for the following line
  

  Code: Select all

  ;extension=zip

• remove the leading ; so that the line looks this
  

  Code: Select all

  extension=zip

• save the file
• restart Apache

Did that, no change. Still getting: "Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Class "ZipStream\Option\Archive" not found in ..."

So probably a third party application problem?
