Description:
------------
Hi,

I just wanted to request some way of Remotly opening and editing a ZIP or other Compressed File.

The Fopen feature allows this via HTTP and FTP.

My problem is that I have large Zip files, I need to FTP in and then Open them and then edit a file within it and then save the Zip.

Downloading, editing then uploading seems a waste of bandwith and time to me.

Thanks for your help on this matter.

Regards

Ian Warner

Reproduce code:
---------------
Zopen similar to this

$handle = fopen ('ftp://'.$ftp_username.':'.$ftp_password.'@'.$ftp_server.'/'.$_POST['file'], 'rb');

Expected result:
----------------
Zip file is opened remotly and contents are able to be edited.

Actual result:
--------------
Nothing

This is not possible unless you write a custom protocol to do so.
Since there is no standard for this, it doesn't belong in PHP, so it won't be in PHP.
