For the above example by VIJAY, using gzgetc would be better, as I've encountered binary/text file incompatibilities (at least with PHP 4.0.4).

gzgets — Get line from file pointer
$zp
[, int $length
] )Gets a (uncompressed) string of up to length - 1 bytes read from the given file pointer. Reading ends when length - 1 bytes have been read, on a newline, or on EOF (whichever comes first).
zpThe gz-file pointer. It must be valid, and must point to a file successfully opened by gzopen().
lengthThe length of data to get.
The uncompressed string, or FALSE on error.
Example #1 gzgets() example
<?php
$handle = gzopen('somefile.gz', 'r');
while (!gzeof($handle)) {
$buffer = gzgets($handle, 4096);
echo $buffer;
}
gzclose($handle);
?>

$zp = gzopen($filename, "r");
