Elastic Beanstalk compile php with ZipArchive enabled

Question

I need to set my PHP project to compile php with ZipArchive enabled. I am running php7 on Elastic Beanstalk and need help on how to write a ".ebextensions" file to accomplish this task. Can someone help me out here?

Thank!

Answer 1

You can create this easily.

1. Create a directory ".ebextensions";
(If MAC, in your terminal run mkdir .ebextensions and cd .ebextensions)

2. Create a file php7zip.config so you have .ebextensions/php7zip.config touch php7zip.config
3. paste this inside the file packages: yum: php70-zip: []
Save the file.
4. Run eb deploy

There you go. You should have the extension install. You can use this same method to install other extensions on Elastic Beanstalk.

Goodluck
