apt - Attempting to install php-zip - getting libzip4 dependancy (>=1.0) error even though I have 1.0.1 installed

I am attempting to install the php zip plugin

I run:

sudo apt-get install php-zip (also php7.0-zip)

I get dependency missing return for libzip4 (>=1.0), yet when I attempt to install or update libzip4 via apt-get - it shows I have 1.0.1 installed (I think it may have package name or an alias of libzip4:i386 -> not sure if that is related to this problem or not but the naming convention looks odd to me in comparison to the other php plugins I have installed).

Terminal commands with output:

sudo apt-get install php-zip

Any help greatly appreciated!!

EDIT:
I have also tried to install (I believe it's the same plugin) with PECL :

sudo pecl install zip

downloading zip-1.14.0.tgz ...

libzip4:i386 is a 32-bit package. and conflicts with 64-bit version. are you using a 32-bit computer?

if you are using 64-bit then do:
sudo apt-get purge libzip4

then:
sudo apt-get install php-zip

if you are using 32-bit then:
sudo apt-get install php-zip:i386
