zip_entry_open

Open a directory entry for reading

&warn.deprecated.function-8-0-0;
&reftitle.description; `bool` `zip_entry_open` `resource` `zip_dp` `resource` `zip_entry` `string` `mode`"rb"

Opens a directory entry in a zip file for reading.

&reftitle.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`.

  Currently, `mode` is ignored and is always `"rb"`. This is due to the fact that zip support in PHP is read only access.

&reftitle.returnvalues;

&return.success;

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.
