$z->open('test.zip')) {
    
$fp = $z->getStream('test');
    if(!
$fp) exit("failed\n");

$fp
= fopen('zip://' . dirname(__FILE__) . '/test.zip#test', 'r');
if (!
$fp) {
    exit(
"cannot open\n");
}
while (!
feof($fp)) {
    
$contents .= fread($fp, 2);
    echo
"$contents\n";
}
fclose($fp);
echo
"done.\n";
?>

Example 3. Stream wrapper and image, can be used with the xml function as well

<?php
$im
= imagecreatefromgif('zip://' . dirname(__FILE__) . '/test_im.zip#pear_item.gif');
imagepng($im, 'a.png');
?>
