You can try this one.

Ne-Lexa - PhpZip

If your server has the right extension installed, PHP has it built in.

I'm trying to use php ZipArchive in my CI4 project. It is already enabled but it always give me this error: Class 'App\Controllers\ZipArchive' not found
Can you help me how to use ZipArchive? Thanks.

Prepend the namespace separator to ZipArchive. Like this

$zip = new \ZipArchive();

or if you do not want that. Try this instead,

<?php

namespace App\Controllers;

use ZipArchive;

$zip = new ZipArchive();
