For this the easiest thing I can think of is to use something like wget to
recursively download your wiki to html files.

I'm not sure if what you say will work or not, however Steve posted
instructions for using PhpWiki's built in zip backup utility here, I
suspect that this is the easiest way to back up the raw source for your
wiki.
