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.
// 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); |
