Can't unzip via php

Hosting Support
#1

I want to have a php file that is able to unzip a .zip file and just put it in the same folder.
I have this php code:

$zip = new ZipArchive;
$zip->open('/path/to//file.zip');
$zip->extractTo('/path/to/extract/');
$zip->close();

however, this does not work at all, and as soon as the code gets to the first line it dies and stops. What is going on?

It is because there is a missing PHP extension caused by the PHP upgrade. In this case, ZIP extension was required to do so, which is one of the extension missing.

What is the PHP error you see when you try to run that code? If you don’t see any error, please try enabling display_errors on the domain:
