PrePHP - PHP Prerenderer

If you're a web developer and have worked on large websites before then you probably already know how useful PHP is for creating design templates. The downside of this is that those sites won't work on servers without PHP support, and that CPU load is increased on servers using PHP for this.
PrePHP is your answer. PrePHP renders static PHP sites to regular HTML sites. That way no additional rendering is needed by the server, reducing CPU load, and eliminating the need for PHP.
One note of warning: this does not work on dynamic PHP sites, i.e. sites that are rendered differently by PHP at different times. Once the site is pre-rendered, it is static.


Requirements

  • MacOS X 10.1 or newer
  • PHP 3 or later

FAQ

  • How do I install PHP?
    Please consult the manual at php.net. More information can also be found at Marc Liyanage's site. Alternatively you can install the required files for PrePHP by using the PHP 4.3.0 for PrePHP available in the download section below.
  • My site is rendered to a bunch of empty files.
    Make sure PHP is installed and configured correctly, and the path to PHP is set correctly in PrePHP's preferences.
