zlib://
Domains:
PHP
Description
compress.zlib:// and compress.bzip2://
zlib: works like gzopen(), except that the stream can be used with fread() and the other filesystem functions. This is deprecated as of PHP 4.3.0 due to ambiguities with filenames containing ':' characters; use compress.zlib:// instead.
compress.zlib:// and compress.bzip2:// are equivalent to gzopen() and bzopen() respectively, and operate even on systems that do not support fopencookie.
ZIP extension registers zip: wrapper. As of PHP 7.2.0 and libzip 1.2.0+, support for the passwords for encrypted archives were added, allowing passwords to be supplied by stream contexts. Passwords can be set using the 'password' stream context option.
Usage
- compress.zlib://file.gz
- compress.bzip2://file.bz2
- zip://archive.zip#dir/file.txt
