Description

resource bzopen ( string filename, string mode)

bzopen() opens a bzip2 (.bz2) file for reading or writing. filename is the name of the file to open. mode is 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); ?>

See also bzclose().
