Written in PHP, PhpWiki is a wiki software i.e, a collaborative software that runs a wiki system. PhpWiki is the first wiki written in PHP to be publicly released. The first version of PhpWiki ran under PHP3.x and ran on DBM files only. In early 2000, Arno Hollosi contributed MySQL as the second database library to PhpWiki. With the inclusion ofMySQL database features and contributions started to pile up, including a templating system, color differences, and much more.

A PhpWiki Wiki Web is a website where anyone can edit the pages through an HTML form. In this site, all pages are stored in a database and the linking is done automatically on the server side.

“Making pages is as simple as making a link to them” is what PhpWiki is addictive for. The page link will be followed by a hyperlinked question mark if the links do not exit. You can follow that hyper link and can define the new page.
