Hi,
I have a client who wishes to publish some catalogues to CD Rom. Of
course they can't be placed onto a CD using PHP code (because it would
require the CD user to have PHP installed!!), but PHP/MySQL is
definately the best way to build the content, since the same data is
being used for online content as well.
So I guess my question is, what;s the best way to creat a static site
from dynamic content. If it was a small site, i'd just access every
page, view the source, copy it, and save to file, but the catalogues
may get up over 1000 pages!!
It also occurs to me that this would be helpfull in building dynamic
sites monthly, but publishing a static site to the web, which would
have better luck with search engines, and maybe even with server load /
caching.
I could make a script which builds / wrote HTML files to disc, no
problem, but if the pages already exist dynamically, I thought there
might be a way to write the HTML source (same as sent to the browser)
to a HTML file
Thanks

Scratching around in my multiple mailbox folders, I found these mesages
on the topic. Hopefully there is some still useful info there.

There was a message posted today for a script viewer that is probably what
you guys are looking for. It can be found here:
http://www.angorasoftware.com/scriptviewer.html
This windows application is designed to show a parsed script file without
the need of a web server. This may be useful for CD-ROM distribution,
Stand-Alone materials, and other uses. The application starts the php
executable with a file parameter, showing the result in a HTML format.
Hope this helps.

It sorts everything out for you.
Yowza!
Thanks Phil.
I went to the site above and found out that they also have a new site at
www.httrack.com, and that the thing is also available for Linux and
Solaris.
I downloaded and simply launched it (as usual, you have your
three-screens-load of switches) and it correctly parsed and saved the
files in a safe format (index.html and then index.html, where
is an alphanumberic combo).
Works great: anybody looking out for a quick way to move some PHP site
to a CDRom should go take a look.
Thanks again
