Arch Linux

Description:
I have installed composer, then I properly configured /etc/pĥp/php.ini for php extensions needed by composer,

then I tried to install lavarel :

composer global require "laravel/installer"

but it fails because composer claims that it doesn't find zip php extension, but the zip extension is installed and enabled in /etc/php/php.ini (I check with "phpinfo()",

the log message of composer :

"Changed current directory to /home/cesar/.config/composer
Using version ^2.0 for laravel/installer
./composer.json has been updated
Loading composer repositories with package information
Updating dependencies (including require-dev)
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.

Problem 1
- laravel/installer v2.0.1 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
- laravel/installer v2.0.0 requires ext-zip * -> the requested PHP extension zip is missing from your system.
- Installation request for laravel/installer ^2.0 -> satisfiable by laravel/installer[v2.0.0, v2.0.1].

To enable extensions, verify that they are enabled in your .ini files:
- /etc/php/php.ini
- /etc/php/conf.d/apcu.ini
- /etc/php/conf.d/imagick.ini
- /etc/php/conf.d/xdebug.ini
You can also run `php --ini` inside terminal to see which files are used by PHP in CLI mode.

Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content."

I think there is something wrong in the archlinux composer package, zip extension is already installed and working, so why composer doesn't detect this zip extension ?


Additional info:
* package version(s) composer 1.7.3-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

- install apache, php and composer 1.7.3-1
- configure php.ini by enabling zip extension
- install laravel with composer : composer global require "laravel/installer"
- you will have an error message, composer will not find zip extension, despite it's enabled in /etc/php/php.ini
