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.
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);
?>
