Can't get size of SWF because of zLib

[liverpool9]

Hello

When I try to get a size of compressed SWF image, I get this NOTICE
error:

"The image is a compressed SWF file, but you do not have a static
version of the zlib extension enabled."

Now as per http://bugs.php.net/ I need zlib compiled statically. and this was not the case on version below 5.x . ie 4.x but I tried the same code on a 4.x version too and the output was the same the error given above.

My question - I am sure if I recomplile zlib as static using the ./configure, plesk would crash. has anyone tried this before any insights would be appreciated. how did you mange it ?

Server Specs,

Suse 10.2
Plesk - 8.3
php - 5.2.5

second test server -

Suse 10
Plesk 7.5
php . 4.3

Note when I change the file from swf to jpg it work like a peach.

Thanks,
LP
