Reply To: Export in views and types creates empty ZIP file

Just a note, I read this article hear speaking about "ZIPARCHIVE".

http://wp-types.com/forums/topic/embedded-types-and-views-export-zip/

I checked in my PHPInfo and ziparchive is not available. Coudl that be the issue? Why do views and types not use more common compression tools, like zip, bz2 or gzip?
