Thanks Jim (and to DNeil and David). Short answer: I got it working ok Long answer: I guess I wasn't very clear... Let me explain... Up until now I have been creating php pages to run on our departmental php-enabled server. Now I want to run php locally on my NT system to generate *.html pages from those *.php pages (to include the *.html pages on a CD). I started to run php406_installer.exe on my system and it started asking questions about my server (upload and temporary directories). I figured the package was just for use with a server on my system so I cancelled the install. I had another go at it and told it "no server" and it installed fine. Then I had a look at the install directory. Wow!! It's just a couple of files - very compact. I thought it might be like a Perl install with tonnes of stuff. Anyway, I tried it out and it works just fine: php -q xxx.php > xxx.html php -q yyy.php > yyy.html So I can now generate the *.html files from *.php. Then I run a batch editor on them to replace links to *.php with links to corresponding *.html files. Thanks. -- John A.
