Run PHP, Apache and MySQL from a CD-ROM

Having a full working demo of an online application on a CD-ROM could sometimes be quite handy. There is at least one I know that exists, that is Microweb bringing a webserver with Perl, PHP and MySQL [1]. While reading about mysqlembedded I came across that posting [2] in the MySQL mailinglist.

So David Shield [3] has written a VB wrapper for handling apache, PHP and MySQL providing the source with the words

\”… whatsoever – use it, change it, sell it, give it away, swap it for chocolate cookies – I don not care!\”.

There is also an approach with Borland C++ builder discussing the API to mysqlembedded [4].
