[Solved] PHP/MySQL website on CD?
Does anyone know a way to put a PHP/MySQL website on a CD-ROM so that you can browse it as if you were looking at the site online?

If you wanted it interactive you would have to install a webserver with PHP and mySQL on each computer that wanted to browse it. But if you just want a snapshot, then save the HTML- the webpages that result when your php is run - along with all the file structure and supporting docs, such as images and such. But then you'll have to do a lot of work renaming links and such and you won't really ba able to do any variable passing. So, uhh, pretty much, good luck

PHP/MySQL currently does not have any method of being used exclusively on CD-ROM. You can, however, build a site and simply link just sections of it to online PHP scripts.shazam-fu wrote:Does anyone know a way to put a PHP/MySQL website on a CD-ROM so that you can browse it as if you were looking at the site online?
He/she only has 3 posts (as of now), and this the first/only time asking this.Illusionist wrote:why do you keep asking the same question over and over again??
Now others have asked this before, but not shazam-fu in particular.

Try a programme like webreaper(freeware) or teleport pro(shareware).
I believe you can download them at http://www.download.com
These programmes download your php/mysql site and converts it to a local browsable static html site.
Just beware that javascript support is not great, so if you use a lot of javascript, it may fail.
Hope this is an answer to your question, and you may want to stop asking it, as it seems to annoy people.
