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]
