Standalone PHP-CLI application?

I have a standalone browser based PHP application that I want to distribute to laptops.

Can I do this with just PHP-CLI and save myself the hastle of setting up Apache on every laptop? Better still, without setting up MySQL as well.

So, how do I direct PHP-CLI output to the browser?

Will the pages appear a they do via Apache?

Can PHP-CLI talk to MySQL without Apache, or does it have its own SQL engine?

Am I expecting too much?

php can be used from command prompt
you can redirect it's output by creating a file like

run.bat
c:\php\php.exe full_path\file.php > full_path\file.htm
c:\progra~1\intern~1\iexplore.exe full_path\file.htm

but it's difficult and mut be optimized for all win versions.

there are a lotta free fast little servers like badblue. Easy setup, easy to configure.

you could try to rewrite it as a php-gtk gui application.

don't know anything about it.
