bzopen

Open a bzip2 compressed file (4.0.4 - 4.3.2 only)
resource bzopen ( string filename, string mode )

Opens a bzip2 (.bz2) file for reading or writing. filename is the name of the file to open. mode is similar to the fopen() function (`r' for read, `w' for write, etc.).

If the open fails, the function returns FALSE, otherwise it returns a pointer to the newly opened file.
