bzopen

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)

bzopen — Opens a bzip2 compressed file

resource bzopen ( string $filename , string $mode )

bzopen() opens a bzip2 (.bz2) file for reading or writing.

filename: The name of the file to open.
mode: Similar to the fopen() function ('r' for read, 'w' for write, etc.).

If the open fails, bzopen() returns FALSE, otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly opened file.

Example #1 bzopen() example


<?php

$file = "/tmp/foo.bz2";
$bz = bzopen($file, "r") or die("Couldn't open $file for reading");

bzclose($bz);

?>
