Thanks Jim (and to DNeil and David).
Short answer: I got it working ok
Long answer: I guess I wasn't very clear... Let me explain...
Up until now I have been creating php pages to run on our
departmental php-enabled server. Now I want to run php
locally on my NT system to generate *.html pages from those
*.php pages (to include the *.html pages on a CD).
I started to run php406_installer.exe on my system and
it started asking questions about my server (upload and
temporary directories). I figured the package was just for
use with a server on my system so I cancelled the install.
I had another go at it and told it "no server" and it installed
fine. Then I had a look at the install directory. Wow!! It's just
a couple of files - very compact. I thought it might be like a
Perl install with tonnes of stuff.
Anyway, I tried it out and it works just fine:
php -q xxx.php > xxx.html
php -q yyy.php > yyy.html
So I can now generate the *.html files from *.php. Then I
run a batch editor on them to replace links to *.php with
links to corresponding *.html files.
Thanks.
