Bzip2 Functions

bzopen

Opens a bzip2 compressed file

Description

resource bzopen ( string $filename , string $mode )

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

Parameters

filename: The 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.

Return Values

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

Examples

Example #1 bzopen example


<?php

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

bzclose($bz);
