zip_entry_open - Open a directory entry for reading

SYNOPSIS

       bool zip_entry_open (resource  $zip, resource  $zip_entry, [string  $mode])

DESCRIPTION

	Opens a directory entry in a zip file for reading.

PARAMETERS

	      o $zip
		- A valid resource handle returned by zip_open(3).

	      o $zip_entry
		- A directory entry returned by zip_read(3).

	      o $mode
		- Any of the modes specified in the documentation of fopen(3).

	      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(3)  and other similar functions, the return value of zip_entry_open(3) only indicates the result of the operation and
	      is not needed for reading or closing the directory entry.

SEE ALSO

       zip_entry_close(3), zip_entry_read(3).

popen - Opens process file pointer

SYNOPSIS

       resource popen (string  $command, string  $mode)

DESCRIPTION

	Opens a pipe to a process executed by forking the command given by $command.

PARAMETERS

	      o $command
		- The command

	      o $mode
		- The mode

RETURN VALUES

	Returns  a file pointer identical to that returned by fopen(3), except that it is unidirectional (may only be used for reading or writing)
       and must be closed with pclose(3). This pointer may be used with fgets(3), fgetss(3), and fwrite(3). When the mode  is  'r',  the  returned
       file pointer equals to the STDOUT of the command, when the mode is 'w', the returned file pointer equals to the STDIN of the command.

	If an error occurs, returns FALSE.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      popen(3) example

	      <?php
	      $handle = popen("/bin/ls", "r");
	      ?>

	If  the  command  to  be  executed  could not be found, a valid resource is returned. This may seem odd, but makes sense; it allows you to
       access any error message returned by the shell:

       Example #2

	      popen(3) example

	      <?php
	      error_reporting(E_ALL);

	      /* Add redirection so we can get stderr. */
	      $handle = popen('/path/to/executable 2>&1', 'r');
	      echo "'$handle'; " . gettype($handle) . "
";
	      $read = fread($handle, 2096);
	      echo $read;
	      pclose($handle);
	      ?>

NOTES

       Note

	       If you're looking for bi-directional support (two-way), use proc_open(3).

       Note

	      When safe mode is enabled, you can only execute files within the safe_mode_exec_dir. For practical  reasons,  it	is  currently  not
	      allowed to have .. components in the path to the executable.

       Warning

	      With safe mode enabled, the command string is escaped with escapeshellcmd(3). Thus, echo y | echo x becomes echo y | echo x.
