downloading a zip archive from another server

[Michaelp]

Hello!

I have a PHP-program that opens an archive and operates on its
contents. I would like the program to download the file over http,
possibly from a foreign server, using a URL.
I have tried using ZipArchive::ope n, with the URL as the filename, but
this gives me an error code 11 (the meaning of which is not documented
anywhere I could see).

How do I accomplish this?

Thanks

Michael

Re: downloading a zip archive from another server

file_put_conten ts($path, file_get_conten ts($url));
zipOpen($path);

Or something to that effect. Else, modify the zipArchive source itself and
use file_get_conten ts instead of whatever operation they use to 'get' stuff
with.
