NYCPHP Meetup

[Steve Manes]

Pardon me if this has been discussed before.  I assume it has been but I 
was probably outside having a smoke.  What's the general opinion about 
PHPWiki here?

I'm tasked with setting up a Wiki for a large open source PHP dev 
project for Childrens Health Fund.  I've set up and used TikiWiki before 
and it worked fine.  It's just a bit of overkill for our needs and it 
would sorta politically undercut my argument for PHP as the base 
language for this project if I installed a perl wiki.

I downloaded v1.3 last night and got it running okay albeit with tons of 
PHP warnings, mostly about using invalid types in referenced arg 
variables.  I googled relentlessly on this problem only to find myself 
directed to other PHPWiki sites, most of which suffered from the same 
affliction.

I know how to turn off those warnings and know (pretty much) what's 
causing them.  But I'd rather not mask the symptoms.  Also, PHP warnings 
indicate potentially problematic code.

Is v1.3 not ready for prime time or does it require PHP5?  The 
installation docs are somewhat byzantine.  Is there a better PHP 
alternative to PHPWiki?
