Hi There,

I have this website which i copy into a CD from time to time and distribute as my products catalogue! the problem is that i have a PHP form in my site and when it's copied onto the CD it doesn't show when viewed from the CD. How can i solve this problem?

Thanks in advance guys!

PHP is a serverside language. That means that you can't view it directly in a browser. When you have PHP installed on your server it will automatically parse it into the output html from the php script, before sending to the browser.
In order for it to work on the CD you'd need to have the CD act as some sort of server, in theory, and I don't think that's even possible, much less easy.

Is the page in the server already? Have you tried going unto cpanel, and do the changes in FileManager.

Ahhh....
Not a bad answer....
No they are not on the server...
They are on my hard-drive....
Do you mean I can go into Cpanel and update the pages that way...
Interesting....
Thanx for the response

When, they're on the server, I would normally go the the cpanel,
but since its in a local file, ensure you have a cross-platform webserver like XAMPP.

,,,and oh, I have no idea on WYSIWYG editor. All I'm with me is notepad++.

Anyway, hope that helps.
