php without a server

[Horus_Kol]

I have used php and mysql to create a search engine for online documentation on an intranet.

Unfortunately, we have a lot of out-of-house engineers who also require access to the online documentation, but do not have access to the intranet from outside.

I want to issue the information on a CD, but the engineers should still be able to use the search engine.

I have been told that it is possible to work turn the php files into a kind of executable - i have looked at www.php.net (http://www.php.net) but could not find any information there.

could someone point me in the right direction?

thankyou in advance, horus

yes there is a program that will do this but you can't use mysql on the cd. the program will add it own server so php can be parsed correctly. the drawback is the mysql thing. I suppose you could put them in a flatfile and just not right to it.

let em think what the program was as it has been awhile since I have seen it.

sounds good - i realise about the mysql thing - but this is not a problem, as it is only a search engine and no writing to the data/keywords is required.

is this what you want
