1. Log into your Centos / Redhat server as ‘root’ user

2. The command ‘php -m | grep zip’ will check whether php-zip extension is enabled or not.

3. Run the command ‘yum provides php-zip’ to find the package that provides this extension

# yum provides php-zip

3. zip extension is provided by php-common package, check whether this package is installed on your server.

# rpm -qa | grep php-common

4. Run the command ‘yum install php-common’ to install PHP zip extension.

command : yum install php-common
