Microweb provides exactly that. I haven't used it, but I did research on comparing it with running Apache from a CD-ROM. Currently I'm leaning toward the Apache implementation, because PHP will run as a dll, rather than through CGI. But if we need a database, I'll probably go with the Microweb solution (though the Apache version is free).
Microweb is pretty clever with MySQL -- if it's read-only, it'll run from the CD, otherwise, it'll copy the tables to a temporarly location on the user's harddrive. I'm not sure how licensing is handled, though. Tac >From http://www.indigostar.com/microweb.htm: MicroWeb allows you to create a working web site on a CD-ROM. Using a web browser, a user can run CGI programs as well as view html files on the CD-ROM. To view the website the end user only has to run the microweb.exe program on the CD-ROM, there is nothing to configure. This will automatically start a web browser for viewing the website. MicroWeb provides support for MySQL, it will automatically start a MySQL server if one is included on the CD. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colin Faber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gerald R.
