Hello, all.
I just began looking into using the Wikipedia software for my thinktank
website, Theoretic Solutions [
www.theoretic.com ]. I had been staying
away from Wikis despite their clear benefit to managing lots of
information from different people because of the awkward CamelCase-ing.
However, When I stumbled upon Wikipedia's new PHP script, I realized it
was perfect. Unfortunately, it requires MySQL, whereas I have Postgre
installed. Is there any way to add Postgre support easily enough, or
should I continue my search elsewhere? I'm afriad I do not know PHP,
although often employ Perl programmers, so hopefully I could return the
favor somehow. Thanks, all.
Many Wikis can use freelinks in addition to CamelCase,
so the easiest think you can do is just check other Wikis.
For what I know, PHP script uses some special MySQL features,
like full text search, so it probably won't be trivial to port.
I think that your Perl programmers will be able to program PHP.
After all, PHP is very similar to ePerl.
But it's database issue, not PHP programming, so DB expert would
be more appropriate than PHP or Perl expert.
