Reading a zip file?

[rhowes]

Hi All

How can I read a complex zip file in PHP? I have read the manual and the functions are straight forward but I cannot find the zlib.so library. I have even compiled zlib on my machine as a shared library but it creates a "libz.so" instead of "zlib.so". I am not sure if this is significant but it still doesn't work.

In addition I tried compiling PHP with --with-zip as suggested in the manual. The ./configure complains about not finding libzzip. This is confusing as the manual says it uses zziplib.

Any ideas?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Did you try compiling it with: --with-zlib ?

Hi

Yes I did Mike (after much searching) and all is well on Linux. Now for the Windows version - things are a lot more complicated. I need to compile on Windows using VC++ and this is not going to be an easy task. May be forced to try though.
