zipArchive with MAMP?

trying to work out how to install zipArchive extensio开发者_运维技巧n with MAMP, but not having much luck

any know how to do this? I have no idea

Answering my own question for completeness.

JUST UPGRADE MAMP!!!

Sorry for shouting ;)

First three Google results indicate that MAMP comes compiled without ZIP extension:

Mamp is a product that wraps PHP / MySQL etc within one easy package for the mac, and has nothing to do with the extension

the extension runs within PHP, so your questions should be how should i use the zipArchive with PHP

the answer to that questions is read the documentation:

http://php.net/manual/en/class.ziparchive.php

To install an extension is very straight forward, just drop the extension within the extensions folder and then restart PHP.
