A mirror is not a copy. It is a static snapshot in time. You can't get php,
include files, databases or any other server side files from the public side
of a webserver. Only the html output and related files (css, js.) Forms will
not work and those urls will not be changed.

If the site doesn't have admin tools or at least ftp, then you should have
maintained copies on your machine.

You can use the near flag (get non-html related) to get host provided files
(css and js) but what those will do on a new host is anyone's guess. If you
filter to get only your files, then use No external pages = checked and you
can search the html for href="external.html?..." to remove them.

Basically you're going to have to rebuild each page from the mirrored one.
