Description:
------------
`stream_filter_append` in combination with `zlib.deflate` no longer works as expected in PHP 7.2 and produces an empty string instead of the expected compressed string. (see test script).

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$stream = fopen('php://temp', 'w+');

fwrite($stream, 'something something');

stream_filter_append($stream, 'zlib.deflate', STREAM_FILTER_READ, ['level' => 6]);

rewind($stream);

$contents = fread($stream, 1024);


Expected result:
----------------
A compressed string

Actual result:
--------------
An empty string

Strange, ran on PHP 7.2.11-3+ubuntu18.04.1+deb.sury.org+1 (cli) (built: Oct 25 2018 06:44:08) ( NTS ) in a script it's working.

The following zlib configuration is set:

zlib

ZLib Support => enabled
Stream Wrapper => compress.zlib://
Stream Filter => zlib.inflate, zlib.deflate
Compiled Version => 1.2.11
Linked Version => 1.2.11

Directive => Local Value => Master Value
zlib.output_compression => Off => Off
zlib.output_compression_level => -1 => -1
zlib.output_handler => no value => no value

The zlib.deflate stream filter is working as expected in these versions: 5.5.21 - 5.5.38, 5.6.5 - 7.1.33

But in these versions the zlib.deflate stream filter truncates data.
5.2.0 - 5.5.20, 5.6.0 - 5.6.4, 7.2.0 - 7.4.0

Here is another test code version:

$string = str_repeat("0123456789", 100);
$resource = fopen('data://text/plain,' . $string,'r');
stream_filter_append($resource, 'zlib.deflate', STREAM_FILTER_READ, 6);
$compressed = stream_get_contents($resource);
echo strlen($compressed);

This appears to be a duplicate of bug #77069; I've just added a
test case to the respective PR[1].
