RE: [PHP] PHP site to CDRom

Just now, believe me or not, I was asked to "copy" the whole website with databases on their laptop. "the only way you could show the website is to carry the servers with you" - I replied, However a real idea came to my mind: what sales usually need? - to show. The layout, the output, the functionality etc.. so why not to set a webserver (MS FrontPage is enough) on the laptop and then connecting still here to network save files with their respective filenames. Doing so to copy all the pages needed to present (sales know - sales are saving, less staff for us to worry about) and then just show it whenever connection is not present where the meetings are taking place. Then participants will have our business cards with the URL to check the REAL website. (common, these guys do have an internet connection at home and in offices...). In Your case this can be done with CD-ROMs. Telling you how I just resolved the problem here, Maxim Maletsky. -----Original Message----- From: Adam Charnock [mailto:adamcharnock@btinternet.com] Sent: Thursday, October 19, 2000 3:11 PM To: Maxim Maletsky Subject: RE: [PHP] PHP site to CDRom Could you just install PHP and MySQL as a standalone on the CD rom, you could have a little program that would autorun when the cd is put in the drive that would install the required system files. Have a look into the various servers and try to find a simple one that you could use. if you work it out could you tell me? Good luck :-) Adam -----Original Message----- From: Maxim Maletsky [mailto:maxim@japaninc.net] Sent: 18 October 2000 08:51 To: 'Andrea Resmini' Cc: 'PHP General List.

They will have to connect to the internet of course, but I think they'll understand.. In this way they will have their CDs and they can see a real website. What do you say, will this work? -----Original Message----- From: Andrea Resmini [mailto:a.resmini@ogcs.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 18, 2000 4:37 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] PHP site to CDRom David Robley wrote: > Have a look in the mailing list archives - I think someone posted something > about a tool to do just that thing in the last few days. Thanks, I'll do that. As regards laptops as someone else suggested ( :) ) I just wish we could just make them go along that way. These corps have the bad habit of distributing cds to visitors to peek at in the quiet of their own offices, and I have the feeling that we can't suggest 'well, just give each of them a PHP-enabled laptop to take away'. ;)) -- Andrea Resmini a.resmini@ogcs.com hypermedia development, OGCs.com http://www.ogcs.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
