readgzfile — Output a gz-file
Description
int readgzfile
( string
$filename
[, int $use_include_path = 0
] )Reads a file, decompresses it and writes it to standard output.
readgzfile() can be used to read a file which is not in gzip format; in this case readgzfile() will directly read from the file without decompression.
Parameters
-
filename -
The file name. This file will be opened from the filesystem and its contents written to standard output.
-
use_include_path -
You can set this optional parameter to 1, if you want to search for the file in the include_path too.
Return Values
Returns the number of (uncompressed) bytes read from the file. If
an error occurs, FALSE is returned and unless the function was
called as @readgzfile, an error message is
printed.
