Re: [PHP] publishing php mysql website on cd-rom
My organization has a need to publish some of our web content on a CD-ROM. I'm in search of suggestions on how to publish our dynamic content (php/mysql templates) in some sort of runtime configuration that would let users browse the site from cd. What's involved with this? Is there such a thing as runtime mySQL? What would it take to serve PHP from a CD? In my opinion the best is to use something like wget -r in Linux. -- Krzysztof Dziekiewicz -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

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.
