Can't call the ZipArchive class

Question

I have ZipArchive enabled, the PHP extension. In my class, when I run:

$zip = new ZipArchive;

I get this error:

Fatal error: Class 'LukeMadhanga\ZipArchive' not found

I am guessing the problem is how I call ZipArchive? Or a namespace issue?

You're calling from within the `LukeMadhanga` namespace, and ZipArchive exists in the __global__ namespace.... use `$zip = new \ZipArchive;` (and learn about [namespaces](http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.php)) — Mark Baker, Mar 23 '17 at 13:01

It indeed looks like a namespace issue, you need to access your ZipArchive class from the global namespace :

$zip = new \ZipArchive;
