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");
