Hopefully there is some still useful info there. ############## Re: [PHP] PHP site to CDRom Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 10:57:53 -0700 From: "Robert V.

It can be found here: http://www.angorasoftware.com/scriptviewer.html This windows application is designed to show a parsed script file without the need of a web server. This may be useful for CD-ROM distribution, Stand-Alone materials, and other uses. The application starts the php executable with a file parameter, showing the result in a HTML format. Hope this helps. Robert V.

Yowza! Thanks Phil. I went to the site above and found out that they also have a new site at www.httrack.com, and that the thing is also available for Linux and Solaris. I downloaded and simply launched it (as usual, you have your three-screens-load of switches) and it correctly parsed and saved the files in a safe format (index.html and then indexXXXX.html, where XXXX is an alphanumberic combo). Works great: anybody looking out for a quick way to move some PHP site to a CDRom should go take a look.
