I am using WAMP with PHP 7.2.4. I need to use PHP's ZipArchive, for which I need the zip.so (php_zip.dll) extension.
I've read it is somehow included in PHP's core since 5.6.x (I believe), so I tried to simply add
extension=php.so
or
extension=php_zip.dll
to php.ini file (tried both lines, also tried both php.ini and phpForApache.ini). It didn't work, so I've downloaded php_zip.dll file (5.6 NTS x64) from here: https://pecl.php.net/package/zip/1.12.4/windows , copied it to /wamp64/bin/php7.2.4/ext/ and repeated the process, with the same results.
When I look into PHP error log, this is what I get:
[03-Mar-2020 07:15:04 UTC] PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'zip.so' (tried: c:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.2.4/ext/zip.so (The specified module could not be found.), c:/wamp64/bin/php/php7.2.4/ext/php_zip.so.dll (The specified module could not be found.)) in Unknown on line 0

I get the first or second line, depending on whether I tried to load php.so, or php_zip.dll extension. Notice the path near the end of those lines: .../ext/php_php_zip.dll.dll. Because of this I also tried to load simply extension=zip, but no luck.
How can I get it to work?
