Is there any way to keep a file pointer open after script is finished,
so that it can be access later, by passing it through session?

Like this:

page1.php:

<?php
session_start();

$fp = fopen("test.php","r");
$data = fread($fp,10);
$_SESSION['fp'] = $fp;

echo "<a href='page2.php'>Continue</a>";
?>

page2.php:

<?php
session_start();
$fp = $_SESSION['fp'];
$data = fread($fp,10); // Should be bytes 11-20
?>

No. File pointers are resources, and resources cannot be stored in the session.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? By the looks of your example above you're wanting to remember where you got to in the file? Just pass the current location to the next page and use fseek to jump there after you've reopened the file.
