note 38967 added to function.gzfile

This is a port of what I've posted at http://www.php.net/file_get_contents It works similar to gzfile() but it returns the file in a string instead of an array and doesn't write it to stdout compared to readgzfile. Note: unlike the usual file-functions filesize won't work here, since the length-parameter of gzread refers to the uncompressed length, while filesize returns the size of the compressed file. <?php if (!function_exists('gzfile_get_contents')) { function gzfile_get_contents($filename, $use_include_path = 0) { $file = @gzopen($filename, 'rb', $use_include_path); if ($file) { $data = ''; // just to be safe. Dunno, if this is really needed while (!gzeof($file)) $data .= gzread($file, 1024); gzclose($file); } return $data; } } ?> PS: if (!function_exists('gzfile_get_contents')) { [...] } isn't really needed, but just in case. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzfile.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38967 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38967&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38967&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
