I think the stations.zip is empty Try this:
Between your scripting and the readfile() put a sleep(2); between so it waits 2 seconds before pushing the data.
And I also suggest:
while()
{
fwrite($da, "$somevar1:$somevar2");
}
fclose($da);
Header()
(try sleep(2); here)
readfile();

I can download it, but when I see the file I downloaded has 0 bytes, and I
have readfile("stations.zip");

But can you download it correctly? Is it just the download box that shows
0 bytes?
is it so that you actually is doing what you do below readfile()
without any argument? So that you are actually downloading something empty?

You need to make sure that you are not outputting ANYTHING before you
do
this. I might guess that you have a whitespace in the top of the
script.
As
soon as you output, the server can not send any more header
information,
and
the browser will think it is just text instead of treating it as an
octet-stream.

1. A user sends a request to your server to get a compressed file
2. You compress the file on the server

Do you mean the following:
1. A user sends a request to your server to get a compressed file
2. You compress the file on the server
3. You want to send back to compressed file to the server
It is number 3 you asking for?
In that case:
<?php
header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
readfile("path_to_compressed_file");
?>
