9 Applications Written in PHP
So you love creating new applications in PHP, but who wants to do something that’s already been done? So in this post I’d like to cover nine of the best PHP based pre-packaged apps. So you can install these and work in their world rather than cover old ground. Or maybe you’re just looking for weaknesses in these packages that you can contribute to fixing in your own project. Whatever your reason here they are:
MediaWiki – Everyone’s favorite wiki engine, with a MySQL backend.
DokuWiki – A clean and fast wiki engine with text file storage, for documentation.
PhpWiki – A versatile and customizable early edition wiki.
phpMyAdmin – A useful MySQL management and administration tool.
Drupal – A content management system (CMS).
Joomla – Another content management system.
WordPress – A blog publishing engine.
phpBB – A forum or bulletin board application.
SquirrelMail – A webmail front-end.
