    zip_entry_open — Open a directory entry for reading

    Warning

    This function has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 8.0.0. Relying on this function is highly discouraged.

    Description

    zip_entry_open(resource $zip_dp, resource $zip_entry, string $mode = "rb"): bool

    Opens a directory entry in a zip file for reading.

    Parameters

    zip_dp

    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.

    'rb' is a valid mode, and means Read-Only Binary Mode.  This mode is used for portability reasons (see fopen).
