Running PHP and MySQL from a CD

[chrisallen76]

I know this has been asked before but i cant remember the outcome of the
discussion! i want to put a website that runs with PHP and a MySQL database on
a CD so people can run it offline straight from the CD! Is this possible???
Thanks in advance

Nope. This would require PHP server and MySQL server to be installed and
running. This can not be done from a self contained CD. A standard HTML web
site works ok, but not a dynamic one.

Actually, this is possible using this wonder micro web server -
microweb. It also starts MySQL and PHP.

We've used this successfully for a project for Hewlett-Packard, and
we've never had issues with it (make sure to set the session path
correctly).

Yep. At least in theory, haven't tried it yet.

It's possible to start a HTTP server and other servers/daemons from a CD
like any other program.

Yes and no, actually having php running is now possible on PHP 5.0 which
is one of the reasons PHP could start florushing on general desktop
development like Python or Perl.

There is even a compiler now for PHP:

However as far as mysql is concern I dont think this is viable since it
still based on a server-client model. Maybe other database like SQLite or
Firebird.
