# bzwrite

(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4)

bzwrite -- Binary safe bzip2 file write

## Description

int bzwrite ( resource bz, string data [, int length])

bzwrite() writes the contents of the string `data` to the bzip2 file stream pointed to by `bz`. If the optional `length` argument is given, writing will stop after length (uncompressed) bytes have been written or the end of string is reached, whichever comes first.

Example 1. bzwrite() Example

    <?php
    $str = "uncompressed data";
    $bz = bzopen("/tmp/foo.bz2", "w");
    bzwrite($bz, $str, strlen($str));
    bzclose($bz);
    ?>
