zip_entry_open — Open a directory entry for reading

Description

zip_entry_open ( resource $zip , resource $zip_entry [, string $mode ] ) : bool

Opens a directory entry in a zip file for reading.

Parameters

zip

A valid resource handle returned by zip_open().

zip_entry

A directory entry returned by zip_read().

mode

Any of the modes specified in the documentation of fopen().

Note:

Currently, mode is ignored and is always "rb". This is due to the fact that zip support in PHP is read only access.

Return Values

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Note:

Unlike fopen() and other similar functions, the return value of zip_entry_open() only indicates the result of the operation and is not needed for reading or closing the directory entry.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.0.0	This function is deprecated in favor of the Object API.
