bzopen — Opens a bzip2 compressed file
$filename
, string $mode
)bzopen() opens a bzip2 (.bz2) file for reading or writing.
filenameThe name of the file to open, or an existing stream resource.
mode
Similar to the fopen() function, only 'r' (read)
and 'w' (write) are supported. Everything else will cause bzopen
to return FALSE.
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);
?>
