Are there specific PHP extensions that need to be installed on a web server to handle zip file operations?

To handle zip file operations in PHP, you will need to ensure that the `zip` extension is installed on your web server. This extension provides functions for creating, extracting, and managing zip archives in PHP. You can check if the `zip` extension is installed by running `php -m | grep zip` in your terminal. If it is not installed, you can typically install it using your package manager or by compiling PHP with the `--enable-zip` flag. 

// Check if the zip extension is installed
if (!extension_loaded('zip')) {
    echo 'The zip extension is not installed on this server.';
    // Handle the missing extension error
    exit;
}
