gzread

Description

gzread() reads up to length bytes from the gz-file pointer referenced by zp. Reading stops when length (uncompressed) bytes have been read or EOF is reached, whichever comes first.

Example 1. gzread() example <?php // get contents of a gz-file into a string $filename = "/usr/local/something.txt.gz"; $zd = gzopen ($filename, "r"); $contents = gzread ($zd, 10000); gzclose ($zd); ?>
