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?
