Hi, I wrote a small patch to the zlib extension to expose more inflate status information. It lets you figure out the length of compressed data when it's prepended to something else. The pull request is here: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2338. The actual changes are not large; mostly just tests for the two added functions. I've included documentation that could go on php.net too.
Maybe I could get some opinions as to whether this could be merged? I'm posting here as @krakjoe suggested since there wasn't much feedback on GitHub. Thanks, Matthew
