==History==
The first version, by Steve Wainstead, was released in December 1999. It was the first Wiki written in PHP to be publicly released. This version required PHP 3.x and only supported [[DBM (computing)|DBM]] files. 
It was a feature-for-feature reimplementation of the original WikiWikiWeb at c2.com.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/|title=PhpWiki WikiWikiWeb HomePage|website=phpwiki.sourceforge.net|access-date=2019-05-21}}</ref>

In early 2000 Arno Hollosi added a second [[database]] [[Library (computing)|library]] to allow running PhpWiki on [[MySQL]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=PhpWiki / Code / [r11080] /trunk/doc/HISTORY |url=https://sourceforge.net/p/phpwiki/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/doc/HISTORY |access-date=2024-03-01 |website=sourceforge.net}}</ref>
From then on more features were added and contributions to the software increased, adding features such as a [[Web template system|templating system]], color [[diff]]s, rewrites of the [[Browser engine|rendering engine]] and much more. Arno was interested in running a wiki for the game [[Go (game)|Go]].<ref>{{cite web
