PHP Zip Repository

Question

Hi, everyone.

I have an issue with installing the PHP Zip extension on Amazon Linux 2023. I've installed a LEMP stack on EC2 for WordPress. I'm using the official repos for NginX and MariaDB, I also installed PHP using Amazon Linux 2023. But the extensions, Imagick and Zip, are not available on the Amazon Linux 2023 repository.

Thus, I used a Fedora 38 repository and installed the extensions. Since the PHP versions are different so the extensions are in separate folders. Then I linked the imagick.so file to the php8.2 modules folder and it worked.

But the zip.so doesn’t work.

Answer

Try this
```
          dnf install -q -y php-devel php-pear gcc

dnf install -q -y libzip-devel libzip
          /usr/bin/yes | pecl install zip
          echo 'extension=zip.so' > /etc/php.d/20-zip.ini
```

You can also consider using the [Amazon Linux 2023 CloudFormation template](https://github.com/aws-samples/ec2-lamp-server/blob/main/AmazonLinux-2023-LAMP-server.yaml) to create your LEMP stack EC2 instance with common PHP extensions such as zip, imagick, redis, igbinary, sodium and most of extensions as required by [WordPress](https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/server-environment/).

Answer

You can see in the [New Packages in AL2023.2 since AL2023.1](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/new-AL2023.1-AL2023.2.html) in the [AL2023 Release Notes](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/) that `php8.2-zip` was added with the AL2023.2 point release, which you can read the [release notes for the first AL2023.2 release (2023.2.20230920) here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/linux/al2023/release-notes/relnotes-2023.2.20230920.html), which was released at the end of September 2023.

So you can now avoid building anything yourself, and just use the packaged version in AL2023.
