Hi Anders, you are more than welcome to help :) Especially on that dreadful wiki-code parser! OK, here they come: Best thing to do is to go to http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/wikipedia/phpwiki/fpw/ and get the latest files. No, but it's not that complicated. wiki.phtml loads all the other .php scripts, which contain the classes wikiTitle, wikiPage, wikiUser and the functions for the "special pages" and the database connection. Just make sure PHP4 is installed and MySQL is running. Make a directory (e.g., fpw for final PHP wikipedia;) in your html directory (e.g., /var/www/html) and copy all files there. In fpw, create an "upload" directory for testing if you like. Set up the MySQL database (I can mail you a dump of my test version) and adapt the settings in "databaseFunctions.php". That's it! The parser, most of the parser, and did I mention the parser? ;) I have an option for user rights management but didn't implement it yet since we didn't really decide on a way to do this. There was some talk on the wiki but I remember Larry didn't like some of the details I suggested. Well, I am using the extensive helpfile/documentation that came with the Windows distribution (is also available as HTML, see http://www.php.net/docs.php), and a cheap paperback book. I take it you're not looking for an introduction?;) Again, your help would be very much appreciated! Magnus

I was just talking about the "protected" namespaces and how a first group of users would copy a "good" article to an intermediate namespace, then a second group could advance the article to s "stable" namespace or reject it. I forgot the wiki topic, though, sorry. If you remember it, tell me please :) Magnus

That's the page! Thanks :) So, you mean, get the PHP Wikipedia running *without* user management, and add that later on? Fine with me, less hacking! (thinking about that, it seems I'm about 80-90% finished, what do you think?) Magnus
