Unzip/Zip Not Found error For the zip extension in PHP, you need to enable it in your php.ini configuration file. Locate your php.ini file. In XAMPP, you can find it through the XAMPP control panel by clicking on the "Config" button next to Apache and selecting "php.ini". Open php.ini in a text editor. Search for the line that looks like ;extension=zip (it might be different depending on your PHP version). Remove the semicolon ; at the beginning of the line to uncomment it and enable the zip extension. Save the php.ini file and restart your Apache server through XAMPP.

I just want to add that although it works this it not a tutorial to install laravel on xampp. He only gets the php.exe from the xampp package which could be installed solo. If you choose to installed it in xampp you dont need to run the "php artisan serve" command

[@CodesEasy]

XAMPP makes it easy for further development and for beginners xampp will appeal as the better option. You can always you any way you wish to go with. Therer is wampp and other similar apps, directly install php only. Its all up to you. 👍

[@solodaritystudio]

Can I use wampserver instead of xampp?

[@CodesEasy]

Sure
