lighttpd with zip extension

I wanted to optmize a project i have by trying out lighttpd instead of apache2 on a Raspberry Pi, but noticed that my php code handling zip files no longer worked because the Zip module for PHP doesnt seem to be loaded or installed. At least not by what i can see with phpinfo();.

I've tried writting lighttpd-enable-mod zip in my command line, but all i get from that is a Ignoring unknown module: zip.

How can i enable or install this module?
