This example opens a temporary file and writes a test string to it, then prints out the contents of the file.

## Small bzip2 Example

    <?php

    $filename = "/tmp/testfile.bz2";
    $str = "This is a test string.\n";

    // open file for writing
    $bz = bzopen($filename, "w");

    // write string to file
    bzwrite($bz, $str);

    // close file
    bzclose($bz);

    // open file for reading
    $bz = bzopen($filename, "r");

    // read 10 characters
    echo bzread($bz, 10);

    // output until end of the file (or the next 1024 char) and close it.
    echo bzread($bz);

    bzclose($bz);

    ?>
