Hi,

I am using PHP's ZipArchive class to create a zip file containing photos and then serve it up to the browser for download. Here is my code:

/**
 * Grabs the order, packages the files, and serves them up for download.
 *
 * @param string $intEntryID 
 * @return void
 * @author Jesse Bunch
 */
public static function download_order_by_entry_id($intUniqueID) {

    $objCustomer = PhotoCustomer::get_customer_by_unique_id($intUniqueID);

    if ($objCustomer):

        if (!class_exists('ZipArchive')):
            trigger_error('ZipArchive Class does not exist', E_USER_ERROR);
        endif;

        $objZip = new ZipArchive();
        $strZipFilename = sprintf('%s/application/tmp/%s-%s.zip', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], $objCustomer->getEntryID(), time());

        if ($objZip->open($strZipFilename, ZIPARCHIVE::CREATE) !== TRUE):

            trigger_error('Unable to create zip archive', E_USER_ERROR);

        endif;          

        foreach($objCustomer->arrPhotosRequested as $objPhoto):

            $filename = PhotoCart::replace_ee_file_dir_in_string($objPhoto->strHighRes);
            $objZip->addFile($filename,sprintf('/press_photos/%s-%s', $objPhoto->getEntryID(), basename($filename)));

        endforeach;

        $objZip->close();

        header('Last-Modified: '.gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', filemtime($strZipFilename)).' GMT',  TRUE, 200);
        header('Cache-Control: no-cache', TRUE);
        header('Pragma: Public', TRUE);
        header('Expires: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time()) . ' GMT', TRUE);
        header('Content-Length: '.filesize($strZipFilename), TRUE);
        header('Content-disposition: attachment; filename=press_photos.zip', TRUE);

        header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream', TRUE);

        ob_start();
        readfile($strZipFilename);
        ob_end_flush();
        exit;

    else:

        trigger_error('Invalid Customer', E_USER_ERROR);

    endif;

}

This code works really well with all browsers but IE. In IE, the file downloads correctly, but the zip archive is empty. When trying to extract the files, Windows tells me that the zip archive is corrupt. Has anyone had this issue before?
