The Zip files functions allows you to read ZIP files.

## Installation

- The Zip PELC extension: Download the Zip PELC extension

Installation on Linux Systems

PHP 5+: Zip functions and the Zip library is not enabled by default and must be downloaded from the links above. Use the --with-zip=DIR configure option to include Zip support.
