Demo CD-Rom with MySQL

[barryp]

Hi

This is probably a stupid question - but here goes !

I've put together an application using PHP & MySQL using the internet.

Several contacts tell me that a large number of potential customers are NOT allowed internet access. So could I release the package on CD-ROM.

Fine.
I can include php.exe on the CD-ROM but what about MySQL ?
Can I also put the exe & dll's on the CD and get PHP to launch it, use it & kill it on exit ?
Seems very untidy - just to get one application access to one database.
And what if the customer already has MySQL running or does not exit cleanly (just kills his browser)?

Any helpful response welcomed

Barry

Of course you still need a webserver application running too, PWS IIS apache etc.

Basicallly unless you have a huge amount of time on your hands, I'd say this can't be done and if it can I would be VERY interested in seeing it.

(Lets face it the worlds webservers would be reduced to a mainboard and as many CDrom Drives as you could hang off it ). ______________________________________________________________________
