Friends, today we\u2019ll discuss how to enable PHP extensions through cPanel<\/strong>. A few weeks ago, we shared a post about enabling PHP modules in WHM<\/a>. So, we\u2019re writing this post now because a subscriber requested it.<\/p>\n

Install PHP Zip in cPanel if not enabled by default.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see how to enable the PHP ZIP<\/strong> extension. Follow the steps below\u2014screenshots are from GoDaddy cPanel<\/a><\/em>:<\/p>\n

STEP 1:<\/strong> Log in to your website’s cPanel <\/strong>(Control Panel), then go to the Software section. See screenshot(source: GoDaddy cPanel)<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Software<\/a><\/p>\n

STEP 2:<\/strong> First, go to the PHP PEAR Package<\/strong>. Then type Zip<\/em> in the search bar, and you will find Archive_Zip. <\/strong>Finally, click on the green install icon, see the screenshot (source: GoDaddy cPanel)<\/p>\n

\"install<\/a><\/p>\n

STEP 3:<\/strong>\u00a0 After installing Archive_Zip<\/strong>,\u00a0 move on to the next step (Select PHP Version<\/em>) as shown in the first screenshot<\/a>.<\/p>\n

STEP 4:<\/strong> Next, click on Select PHP Version<\/strong> to see all the enabled extensions for your current PHP version.<\/span> You should see Archive_Zip (zip)<\/strong> listed there as well. Now, simply check the box next to the Zip extension\u00a0<\/span>and then hit the save button to add the <\/span>Archive_Zip<\/strong> to the current PHP version. See screenshot(source: Godaddy cPanel)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"select<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

STEP 6:\u00a0<\/strong>Now, the final step (3rd part as per the first screenshot<\/a>) is to clear all the PHP Processes <\/em>(similar to clearing the cache). To do this, click on PHP Processes <\/strong>and then hit the Kill Processes<\/strong> button.\u00a0<\/strong>That’s it!<\/p>\n
