There are a bunch of great tutorials at Zend. This one "will show you
how to produce static html pages using PHP":

Someone else mentioned using a program to crawl your site. I've done
this for several sites that I've programmed with php/mysql but that are
no longer live, like this one:

The program I've used to do this is called HTTrack. It's free, and
available here:
