Re: Running PHP on a Thumb Drive

Hmmmm....Think about buying 2 pen drives: 1 to install Apache, PHP, and whatever on on the client's computer, and one to store your data, set as whatever the win32 version of /var/www/ is, or whatever. That way you wouldn't have to bother with any kind of script -- just uninstall when complete. Of course, I don't know how many clients will let you install software and uninstall it like that. AND you would still need to uninstall apache if you could get it working on the pen drive to make sure you didn't accidentally corrupt the registry. -Dan Anderson On Sun, 2003-04-20 at 12:00, John W.
