Hello everyone, I'm a total newb to *nix in all forms so assume I know nothing about it.

I've been trying to use a php function set called "ZipArchive". It says I need to recompile php with the --enable-zip option.

Now "recompile php" scares me. Does that re-install it!? Does it clear all previous settings so if I do this then any settings done prior will be wiped? Or is there a way to add on this one option?

Seems a bit much for a re-installation to add a model when on a windows server it is just add a line to the .ini file :\

Many thanks to anyone who can clear up this matter for me :)
