Thanks, this is just what I needed. I just had to install the PHP CLI linked to on the author's webpage and it worked. Pulled stuff from a local MySQL DB without issue. However, I wish there was a keyboard shortcut for the "Process" command though. Maybe Apple-R, for "run"? Also, selecting "Preferences" didn't bring up any sort of window for me... very odd. Maybe if some of these things get cleaned up I'd think about purchasing.

I read here, it seems to me that people completely misunderstand the reason why I wrote this application. I tend to use PHP to write my site templates. This way I can use PHP's arrays to build up site navigation menus in clean code, without having to fuss around with wysiwyg HTML editors. If I want to modify the menus I can simple change the arrays. I can easily adjust the layout of every page by simply modifying one template file. Again, without the use of wysiwyg editors. The content is static, but it is a lot easier to maintain a clean and persistent layout. PrePHP allows you to render these PHP files to HTML files, to be used on non-PHP capable servers. I just double click my project file in the Finder and click process. Within a few seconds the whole PHP based site is now static HTML and ready to be ftp'd to the WebSTAR server. It's as simple as that. The hosting server doesn't need anything besides a simple HTTP server. No installation of anything PHP is necessary. I hope this clears up some misunderstandings.

site it states clearly that this does not work on dynamic sites, which seems obvious to me. I use PHP almost exclusively in a dynamic environment, usually with MySQL or another database. I think this may be useful for some, but for quickly source-rendering a few sample pages I'll stick with the free wget.
