gzuncompress() Not Working.

Hello, list! I'm trying to translate some code from Python to PHP so it will work on my server. The Python code is: x = zlib.decompressobj() x.decompress(blah) # blah is a 100KB string When I try gzuncompress() on the same data (I checked), it returns a "Data error". I also tried gzinflate() and many user-created gzdecode() functions, with no luck. After many hours of Googling and test scripts, I have found little information. I think the problem could be a memory problem. When I try to decompress a shorter string, it works perfectly. The data fed to the decompression function is the same and therefore should be valid. When I looked at the user comments for gzuncompress(), it says that it might not decompress some zlib data. Any ideas to how to fix this problem? Thanks, Casey
