PHPExcel ZipArchive not found

Question

I\'ve just downloaded PHPExcel package and I tried to import an Excel spreadsheet, but all I get is an error ZipArchive not found. I work on Windows, but server

Answer 1

In my case I have PHP 5.4
Upon using PHPExcel, I encountered this exception.

FatalErrorException in Excel2007.php line 94: Class 'ZipArchive' not found

Solved it by appending this line on PHPExcel/Reader/Excel2007.php

PHPExcel_Settings::setZipClass(PHPExcel_Settings::PCLZIP);

before invoking the getZipClass method.

$zipClass = PHPExcel_Settings::getZipClass();
