the zip extension is not part of the default PHP5 build, you must configure it yourself. read up on Installation of extensions on Windows (http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php).

The zip library is not included with php5. You have to DL the pecl modules (also on php.net).

done, but it still has some errors on it so i tried to comment php_zip.dll and all other php_*.dll too and tried to run php.exe no errors but when i tried to make a simple php program it wont work i think there is still something wrong or maybe my installation was a mess can someone sumarize the install.txt in php5 because its really giving me a headache now. i need a step by step process to install php5.

thanks to all the replies.
