Re: question - php_stream_cast(...) and PHP_STREAM_AS_FD

Sorry about the last message not replied to the list...... (Im a little late on that but I've been away) I fixed my problem, it had nothing to do with the cast. I also took your advice and removed the nested stream too, its much cleaner now. For anyone who is interested I also found the README.STREAMS to be very helpful.
