This 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
function gzfile_get_contents($filename, $use_include_path = 0) {
$file = @gzopen($filename, 'rb', $use_include_path);
if ($file) {
$data = '';
while (!gzeof($file)) {
$data .= gzread($file, 1024);
}
gzclose($file);
}
return $data;
}
?>
gzeof
