Re: PHP from CD-ROM

PHP is a SERVER SIDE language, NOT CLIENT SIDE. I dont like to sound harsh hear but this fact is repeated about 2 times a day in this group. If you are going to want to provide a version that will go on a cdrom, then you had better provide a server on the cdrom too, because netscape and IE are not serves, only clients, they will NOT be able to parse php files. php as a cgi can parse a php file without apache, you could set something up, but this isn't the best or easiest solution...
