ID: 25422 Updated by: wez@php.net Reported By: iwarner at triangle-solutions dot com -Status: Open +Status: Wont fix Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: Win XP PHP Version: 4.3.3 New Comment: This is not possible unless you write a custom protocol to do so. Since there is no standard for this, it doesn't belong in PHP, so it won't be in PHP.

The Fopen feature allows this via HTTP and FTP. My problem is that I have large Zip files, I need to FTP in and then Open them and then edit a file within it and then save the Zip. Downloading, editing then uploading seems a waste of bandwith and time to me. Thanks for your help on this matter. Regards Ian Warner Reproduce code: --------------- Zopen similar to this $handle = fopen ('ftp://'.$ftp_username.':'.$ftp_password.'@'.$ftp_server.'/'.$_POST['file'], 'rb'); Expected result: ---------------- Zip file is opened remotly and contents are able to be edited. Actual result: -------------- Nothing ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25422&edit=1
