I'm trying to read some zlib-compressed data from a regular binary

an error: something about how the prebuffered data didn't work with
the filter and so the filter wasn't added to the filter chain.
I looked and found a way to turn off buffering for stream *writes*,
but not for stream reads. Can anyone help with ideas for why this
isn't working? I posted questions to comp.lang.php and received no
response.
If all else fails, you could just not use the fancy-pants new stream
and filter functions, and just use http://php.net/zlib directly on the
file.
Sorry Richard for the double mail, I didn't have the list cc'd before...
How could I do that? I thought the only way to use zlib in PHP was
through the stream functions.
It's also possible your zlib file is just plain corrupt, and neither
will work...
But I am getting the error before I start to read -- it is not a zlib
'file', it is a stretch of data within
an ordinary file that has been compressed with zlib.
Thanks
Bob
