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). PHP Documentation Group ZIP_ENTRY_OPEN(3)
