PHP zip_entry_open() Function


< Complete PHP Zip File Reference

Definition and Usage

The zip_entry_open() function opens a zip archive entry for reading.

This function returns TRUE on success, or FALSE on failure.

Syntax

zip_entry_open(zip,zip_entry,mode)

Parameter Description
zip Required. Specifies the zip resource to read (a zip file opened with zip_open() )
zip_entry Required. Specifies the zip entry resource to open (a zip entry opened with zip_read() )
mode Optional. Specifies the type of access you require to the zip archive.

Note: In PHP 5, mode is ignored and is always "rb". This is because zip support in PHP is read only


Example

<?php
$zip = zip_open("test.zip");

if ($zip)
  {
  while ($zip_entry = zip_read($zip))
    {
    echo "<p>";
    echo "Name: " . zip_entry_name($zip_entry) . "<br />";
    if (zip_entry_open($zip, $zip_entry))
      {
      // some code
      }
    echo "</p>";
  }
zip_close($zip);
}
?>
