Encyclopedia
PhpWiki is a web-based
wiki software
application.
It began as a clone of WikiWikiWeb
and was the first wiki written in PHP
.
PhpWiki has been used to edit and format paper books for publication.
The first version ran under PHP 3.x and ran on DBM files only.
It was a feature-for-feature reimplementation of the original WikiWikiWeb at c2.com.
In early 2000 Arno Hollosi contributed a second database library to run PhpWiki on MySQL.
From then on the features and contributions started to grow, including a templating system, color diff
s, rewrites of the rendering engine and much more.
Arno was interested in running a wiki for the game Go.
Jeff Dairiki was the next major contributor, and soon headed the project for the next few years.
Since then Reini Urban and Marc-Etienne Vargenau maintain it.
