Is it possible to run PHP from a cd? Basically what I want to do is this: Create a CD with a flash file and php.exe and some php pages. I need to be able to have the flash file launch a batch file. This batch file then runs php.exe (this is what I am asking about), which runs a php page that will scan the dir of the cd, create temporary php pages based on that file structure on the local hdd in a temp folder, the output of the php page will be in XML, flash will then scan that XML file looking for the text and tags php outputs and will build a menu system based on that output. Thats the whole project so you have the big picture. I have the php, xml, and flash part figured out. What I really just need to know is:

Will php basically run standalone from a CD with no webserver to create the xml pages I need? If so, any tips would be mightily appreciated! Thanks!

    Of course - that's what the CLI is for. You'd just have to include the CLI executable (along with a couple of other files in the PHP directory - don't remember which ones offhand).
