Projects using PHP

An increasing number of projects, both commercial and Open Source, are using PHP as their main development tool. If you want to browse through a list companies using PHP, you can go here. This page, however, is a listing of cool things based on PHP, available for download.

Keystone is a web-based application designed to help a workgroup keep track of issues and tasks via a shared central resource. The system was designed specifically with the IT department in mind, where quick access to shared data and history is a requirement. This centralized model works to help organize the department, as well as giving the group the information it needs to best serve its customers. Keystone can be used for: Forums and message boards are popping up all over the place. To this point the most popular has been the free perl one at Matt's Script Archive. This project is trying to design a better forum with the use of PHP and a database. We are currently using MySQL, but hope to either have a database independent version or multiple versions for different databases in the future. The Ministry of Truth is a web-based job, equipment, and software tracking system that works via PHP and MySQL. MOT is a handy way for an IT support department to keep track of its support calls in a way that also maintains change logs for all machines and software packages. IMP is a set of PHP3 scripts that implement an IMAP based webmail system. Assuming you have an account on a server that supports IMAP, you can theoretically use an installation of IMP to check your mail from anywhere that you have web access. The PHP Base Library is a toolkit of extremely useful functions needed in many web applications. This is a web adserver using PHP3.0 and MySQL It includes the following features: W-Agora is a web-based and customizable forum package. It allows you to install forums, BBS, guestbooks and all derived things. More than "just another web BBS/forum software", w-agora is designed so you can easily adapt it to your needs.

FocalMail is a web based email interface which allow you to manage your mail virtually anywhere with any Javascript enabled web browser. A web based recipe calculator with a recipe database and other beer related goodies.
Note from Rasmus: This might sound like a trivial little thing, but go have a look. It is a very complete and complex site and not your average, "duh.. I like beer site". phpMyAdmin is intended to handle the basic adminstration of MySQL. Currently it can create and drop databases and tables, modify, delete and add records and keys and execute any SQL-statement. It also features an overview of MySQL's activity and can import flat-file databases. The SQLFusion project is a collection of components in java for netobject Fusion. It's an easy and fast way to build php3 and mSQL web sites with NetObject Fusion. Its all free under a GNU license. TWIG (formerly known as Muppet) came about because several of our users were running Windows 3.x with non-javascript browsers (specifically MSIE 3.x for Win3.x). Although we like IMP (http://web.horde.org/imp/), it wasn't exactly practical for them to use. Muppet works in every browser we've tested so far, including lynx. phpAds is a banner management and tracking system written in PHP3. Currently it can: The Diary lets you keep notebooks and write notes in them. You can add notes or browse through your notes from any Web browser anywhere in the world. You can also search inside your notebooks to find entries that interest you. IRM is an easy to use and powerful web-based tracking utility for IT departments. It stores detailed information on software and computers. It features a search engine to list, say, all computers running Windows 95, and so on. Another feature is the Tracking utility which stores a complete history of every computer, as well as outstanding repair jobs, prioritized and displayed in a variety of formats. IRM also features user security, as well as several security groups users can be in (admin, normal, post-only). eShop is a browser based storefront and catalog development and management system. Using nothing more than a web browser, developers can implement dynamic data driven storefronts with integrated shopping basket, catalog, hierarchal categories, boolean product search, and order processing. eShop's architecture lets developers prepare and market specialized look and feel, payment processing, and shipping modules. The full license comes complete with source codes in PHP so advanced developers can get "under the hood" with unlimited customization capabilities. Another message forum implementation. Multiple threading levels, no cookies, users may delete own postings, etc. PHPGen is small PHP-script used to make a framework for a new PHP-application.
