website ripper for offline use

[Mort]

Hey all

Am making an interactive CD ROM for work, and it is going to have various web sites and stuff in the portfolio section

Anyways most of these websites are done in PHP, some with CMS some without, and was hoping someone could let me know of a tool that will just basically parse the website, turn it all into html, and work pretty much out of the box, as i want minimum work for each one as have a few to do

Was using Surfoffline but with sites that use the index.php?view=blah linking system, the pages werent being saved as html files so when I go off the index.html page it just shows a file with code in. I could rename them all manually but would take ages, plus would have to go thru all the code looking for link tags to change too

pretty urgent one required as have done it all and just noticed this stupid problem above at the last minute

cheers

Wget.

it downloads all the files fine, but when i goto the index.html page none of the links work as they are all pointing at .php files, and as this is a CD ROM that wont work

Try

wget -P X -r -l Y --convert-links --html-extension http://site.com/

X = dir to save to
Y = recursion amount

--convert-links keeps links intact; --html-extension keeps naming conventions to .html if the content-type is good.

ahh mate legend

I was 3/4 through writing a script in PHP to rename the files, and then parse the code, updating the old links with new ones, and rewriting the file

cheers dude
