Hello All,

I am trying to zip data in a PHP program using the following code. The
resulting file (ndfdViaPipe.kmz) is zip'ed but the data in the archive
lacks a file name. So when a program like Google Earth tries to process
the file, it fails. When I bring ndfdViaPipe.kmz into WinZip, the file
has no name but can otherwise be extracted just fine. Once extracted,
Google Earth can process the file. Does anyone know how I might add the
"file name" information to the ndfdViaPipe.kmz? The reason I'm trying
to use pipes is to avoid creating a file with the dynamically created
data in $kml_string. The plan is to send $kmz_content out in a SOAP
service message with the payload as base64 encoded file. If there is a
better way to accomplish this I am certainly open to suggestions.

In advance, thanks for any you care to offer.

John

Can't with your main problem, however I find it easier to write
the likes of :

$kml_string = $kml_string . "<Document>";

as:

$kml_string .= "<Document>";

Can't with your main problem, however I find it easier to write
the likes of :

$kml_string = <<<STOP
all of
the soap
maybe some water
some chips if you have them
STOP

Add some headers before you send the file:

header("Content-Type: application/octet-stream");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"blah.zip\"");
