is there any script or software available for strip/clone some websites which made from php, javascript, ajax etc. I know about HTTtracker but it works only with .html sites. any suggestions plz.
 
Php is a server-side programming language. It cannot be ripped the way you are planning to. When you see the website, you are seeing the output of what php processed. Which is html, css and possibly JavaScript. You gotta download that and re-code the server side processing part by yourself.

If we do like that, downloaded all .html pages and process it from our end. would it be perfectly to see? any I know many claims here that, they can clone any website in the internet. is it possible
 
yeah you could serve all the copied .html pages with php, but that won't be of much use I guess

You'll be able to see the basic front-end stuff. But there won't be any backend functionality to allow the site to work, as you click between pages and links.
Things like sessions are sometimes used to carry variables from each page.

The more basic the site, the better chance you will have at having a local copy though.

You will see the output, but not the server side code. You could make it look exactly like the site you ripped from. But, it will just be a static website. Then you could add functionalities to that (which I am sure you don't know how to, since you are asking this question).
First step to web development is to understand how web works. For example, domains, dns records, frontend, backend and those stuffs - find out what they are. It will be much clearer.
