Description:
------------
Documentation:
In order to use these functions you must compile PHP with zip support by using the --with-zip[=DIR] configure option.

But actualy:
sek:/usr/src/php/php-5.1.4# ./configure --help | grep zip
  --enable-zip        Include Zip read/write support.
  --with-zlib-dir[=DIR]   zip: Set the path to libz install prefix.

The --with-zip does not work.

you are mixing the bundled version with the pecl one.

If I understand you correctly, there is a difference between installing the zip extension for PHP4 and for PHP5. To my opinion this isn't made clear when reading the manual.

Other PECL extensions which also have documentation in the PHP manual, do have the correct --enable syntax. For example: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.runkit.php

I've noticed that the installation instructions start with 'In PHP 4 ...'. But there are no instructions for other versions. This made me think these instructions did not change for PHP5.
I believe that an 'In PHP 5 ...' paragraph would be feasible.

I've compiled PHP many times, so this it didn't really cause me too much trouble. But I think that if you want to statically compile an extension into PHP for the first time, this could cause you a real headache.

Thanks for reconcidering.

The documentation has been updated. It contains the explanation for the bundled version in php4.x (--with-zip[=DIR]), pecl and php 5.2 (--enable-zip). The changes will show up with the next update.
