Welcome Frozen77,
I have a few to questions pose in response first:-

Is this homework/assignment? There are specific forums for these.
What have you tried so far?
What output/errors do you get?
What OS and version are you using?
What are your preferred tools? (C, shell, perl, awk, etc. along with gzip or other compression software)
What logical process have you considered? (to help steer us to follow what you are trying to achieve)

Most importantly, What have you tried so far?

There are probably many ways to achieve most tasks, so giving us an idea of your style and thoughts will help us guide you to an answer most suitable to you so you can adjust it to suit your needs in future.

We're all here to learn and getting the relevant information will help us all.

Robin

LEARN ABOUT PHP

zip_entry_open

ZIP_ENTRY_OPEN(3)							 1							 ZIP_ENTRY_OPEN(3)

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).
