# zip_entry_open

(PHP 4 >= 4.1.0)

zip_entry_open -- Open a Directory Entry for Reading

## Description

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

Opens a directory entry in a zip file for reading. The parameter `zip` is a valid resource handle returned by zip_open(). The parameter `zip_entry` is a directory entry resource returned by zip_read(). The optional parameter `mode` can be any of the modes specified in the documentaion for fopen().

> Note: Currently, `mode` is ignored and is always `"rb"`. This is due to the fact that zip support in PHP is read only access. Please see fopen() for an explanation of various modes, including `"rb"`.

Returns `TRUE` on success or `FALSE` on failure.

> Note: 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.
