Subject: zlib problem
From: r.korving@xit.nl ("Ron Korving")

Hi,

Will there be a gzdecode() function in the future? I really need it, and the
function provided by Aaron G. on
http://nl2.php.net/manual/en/function.gzencode.php#44470 doesn't always seem
to work ("data error" warning on a newly gzipped file). I tried to go
through the ext/zlib code, trying to figure out how everything works, so I
could create a function in php based on readgzfile (for strings), but I just
don't get how the wrapper works.

I also tried making my own wrapper, like this:
readgzfile("str://andsomegzippeddatahere");
But the gz-functions don't accept user-space wrappers.

So, my questions are:
- is it possible to make the zlib functions use my wrapper anyway?
- will there be a gzdecode() in the future?
- how could i mimic the behavior of readgzfile() to work with strings (in
php-code)?

Thanks,

Ron
