gzopen
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)
gzopen — Open gz-file
Description
gzopen() can be used to read a file which is
not in gzip format; in this case gzread() will
directly read from the file without decompression.
Parameters
filename-
The file name.
mode-
As in fopen() (rb or
wb) but can also include a compression level
(wb9) or a strategy: f for
filtered data as in wb6f, h for
Huffman only compression as in wb1h.
(See the description of deflateInit2
in zlib.h for
more information about the strategy parameter.)
use_include_path-
If set to true, files in the include_path are searched for too.
Return Values
Returns a file pointer to the file opened, after that, everything you read
from this file descriptor will be transparently decompressed and what you
write gets compressed.
If the open fails, the function returns false.
