The subject is clear.
But whe have lot's of pages with php,mysql and html. And some of these databases are go'ing to be published on cd. Whe din't know this in advanced.
These internet pages are only databases that can list and search data stored in the mysql. So there is no edditing or adding to the database.
Now i will get the anwser (i know) download a website ripper like webcrawler or something. But then i can't search...

For an installation-CD I could see EasyPHP incorporated in this. That way you'd have a WAMP. But it would need to be installed on the client's computer and apparently, it doesn't run very smoothly under Windows XP - see
EasyPHP.

We don't want to give the source away.
And whe can't install a 'server' on the client.

You could use
Zend Encoder to encode your PHP files so that no one may read the contents.

take a look at
http://www.apachefriends.org/wampp-en.html
although it's yet another wamp-package it seems to be configured to start out-of-the-box. So I guess it can be started from a CD, too, but I haven't played that much with it.
afaik it starts both apache and mysql in application mode which will lead to two quite ugly dos-box-windows. But at least you might take a look at how they've configured the bundle and if you have e.g. a C-coder he/she/it can write a small program that hides the boxes.

I am shooting a little in the wind on this one but have you thought of exporting the data into a comma delimted file and replacing the code that gets it from the database with a parser? I am assuming that you get your data by way of a couple or few minor classes???
The other thing is if they will be online at the time of viewing you could install the MySQL ODBC driver on their computer and make the connection to the database that way.
I understand I'm making some big assumptions here but just throwing out ideas
