Warning!

the example show above is _not_ working in every case!
This example will continue reading until there is no more data:

<?PHP
      $bz
=bzopen('foo.bz2', 'r');
     
$data="";
      do {
       
$line=bzread($bz, 8092);
        if(
$line!==false)
         
$data.=$line;
      }
      while(
$line);
     
bzclose($bz);
?>
