You can do a search on google for php and xml and xslt...i wrote a series of articles on it at phpbeginner.com http://www.phpbeginner.com/columns/ray/xml that should get you started...

RE: [PHP] publishing php > mysql website on cd-rom
Personally, I like the idea of a static site. I have a dynamic, database-driven site that handles documentation for an engineering project. When the project is over, I would like to archive the entire site, including the database and all document directories, onto a static, html-only, CD. Has anyone done this? Can it be done other than by separately displaying and saving each page as an html page, and then manually creating the links?

I dunno if its an old wives tail but I have heard that you can get apache/mysql and php running from a CD. You would of course need to turn off all logging etc. Do a bit off google bashing.

Re: [PHP] publishing php > mysql website on cd-rom
That is going to be very hard to do...you might want to look at doing it all static...however, what are u going to do about the database connections... IMHO, i would take the php site and make it static and then put it on a CD-ROM...it might be out of date, however, it might be the fastest way for ya. Do you want them to access your site from the CD-ROM pages? You could create special pages on your site that the CD-ROM pages call. But that would require the user of the disc to have internet access. But running PHP from a cd-rom will probably not work unless you are doing some commandline cgi stuff...and i dont even want to think how that would work for ya... i would probably do something where static html pages pull data from your site...
