PHP5 Markdown Wiki

A simple Git-backed wiki built around the standard PHP Markdown class. Main features:

• All content is Markdown.
• Supports change history and comparison between all versions of a page.
• Simple interface.
• Internationalized (thanks to @seth--).

Currently available translations:

• English (@seth--)
• Bulgarian (@mitio)

Requirements:

• A PHP-enabled *NIX webserver (Windows is not currently supported).
• A filesystem to store pages on (not suitable for cloud-based platforms with ephemeral filesystems).
• Optional: Git, to support page history and versions comparison.
• No database backend required.

Installation

Just checkout the Git repository of the project in a location which is accessible via your PHP-enabled web server. You can use the wiki even without Git. Git is required only if you want to preserve the history of changes on a page and to be able to compare different page revisions.

Currently this wiki doesn't support running on Windows-based servers.

If you need the history support, make sure you have Git installed and available somewhere in your webserver's $PATH. The wiki tries hard to look for the Git binary even if it is not in $PATH. Locations checked for the git command include, in this order:

• All paths in $PATH. This is the PATH environment variable, available to the PHP interpreter, running the wiki. In most cases, this PATH will be inherited from your Apache (or other webserver) processs.
• /bin
• /usr/bin
• /usr/local/bin
• /sbin
• /usr/sbin

Use this project at your own risk.
