In Progress [ZC-4670] ZipArchive setPassword function needs libzip >= 1.2.0

[vacancy]

Hello

I want to use the ZipArchive module's setPassword function in php 7.2, but in easyapache 4 the ziparchive module is installed as 1.1.x version. The setpassword function requires version 1.2.x.

How can we upgrade this version?

PHP: ZipArchive::setPassword - Manual

Hello @vacancy,

PHP version 7.2 is compiled with Libzip version 1.1.2 in EasyApache 4:

# /opt/cpanel/ea-php72/root/usr/bin/php -i | grep Libzip
Libzip version => 1.1.2

A newer Libzip version isn't provided at this time, however internal case ZC-4670 was opened to request a newer Libzip version. I don't have a time frame on when we might provide the newer version, but I'll monitor the case and update this thread with more information as it becomes available.

In the meantime, if you are open to using CloudLinux, they provide a newer version with their Alt-PHP package:

/opt/alt/php72/usr/bin/php -i | grep Libzip
Libzip headers version => 1.3.2
Libzip library version => 1.3.2

Thank you.
