gzfile()

You can set this optional parameter to1, if you want to search for the file in the include_path too.

返回值

An array containing the file, one line per cell, empty lines included, and with newlines still attached.

In PHP4.4.1 I noticed that gzfile only reads up to 8190 bytes per line. I had a 20K SQL query that was cut into 3 parts - and wondered why the SQL server complained. 
Reading an uncompressed file with the file() command works as expected.

A quicker way to load a gziped file in a string : 

This function is not binary safe. (intentionally, or not, that's the question :)

This works similar to gzfile() but it returns the file in a string instead of an array and doesn't write it to stdout compared to readgzfile.
Note: unlike the usual file-functions filesize won't work here, since the length-parameter of gzread refers to the uncompressed length, while filesize returns the size of the compressed file.
