    readgzfile — Output a gz-file

    Description

    readgzfile(string $filename, int $use_include_path = 0): int|false

    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 on success, or false on failure

    Errors/Exceptions

    Upon failure, an E_WARNING is emitted.
