Overview

This page was created to obtain an overview about FOSS PHP CMS without DB.

The three most common licenses are:

  • GNU GPLv3 : 6
  • GNU GPLv2 : 3
  • MIT : 3

The page GPLv3 PHP CMS without DB is restricted to the GPLv3:

  • less time needed to understand different licenses
  • translations into several languages exist
  • easier code sharing

List

  • i18n - internationalization/localization
    • RFC3066 : codes are selected as recommended in RFC 3066, but can use "_" instead of "-" and lower case for country codes
    • selfmade : there is localization, but it does not follow any RFC or ISO 639 standard
  • PHP
    • minimum PHP version that is required
      • software that has a low min required version could have problems in new environments, since PHP is not fully backward compatible
        • in PHP 5.4 (2012-03-01) [1] backward compatibility was broken by several changes, e.g. SM removed [2]
