Manual
readgzfile(
string$filename,
[int$use_include_path = 0] ): int|false

You can set this optional parameter to 1, if you want to search for the file in the include_path too.
Return Values
Returns the number of (uncompressed) bytes read from the file on success, or false on failure
Exceptions and Errors
