The default PHP of DreamHost is not support Zip extension.
To let it support Zip. You need following steps.
1) Have your own customized PHP compile, which I posted before.
2) Then need to installing PECL Zip
Followed the guide on wiki.
The only difference I did, is to move zip.so file from
/home/username/php5/lib/php/extensions
to
/home/username/Domainname/cgi-bin/
Because I use cgi-bin as the extension folder.
Installation Difficult Rank: Easy
Time spend: 15 mins.
After install PECL zip extension, I can use PHP to create, modify, and read zip-format files.

Hi David, I have this problem when i run the script zip.sh .. it starts to run then says “Line 184:/home/username/php5/bin/phpize: No such file or directory

I just want to save time. I don’t like re-compile.
I noticed that you did not compile php5 on DH with –enable-zip and was wondering why you chose to not do this but use PECL to do the extension?
