Support for zip functions?

I wrote a script using PHPs zip file functions (zip_open, zip_entry_open, etc.). I didn't notice that only PHPv 4.1- 4.3.2 support these functions. Why would PHP stop supporting these functions without offering an alternative? I am using a more recent version of PHP and don't want to downgrade. Is there a module or something that I can install, or even better edit a line in the php.ini file (wishful thinking) to support these functions? Thanks in advance.
