Useful Tool: PHP Wiki (mediawiki)

So many times programmers (or other) want a tool that can be a quick document for work out there. Something to answer "How can I..." questions or even "Where is..." questions. For this I use a wiki freely available - mediawiki (I believe it is the tool that Wikipedia uses.)

Homepage for MediaWiki

To install it you will need Apache, PHP and MySQL/Maria, which is conveniently available at

If you have a web server, this tool will let you install all the pieces you need on these servers:

The install instructions can be found on the XAMPP web page! Once this is installed, mediawiki is easy after that - simply unzip it on your servers /htdoc directory, install a directory on the machine for Maria and it will do the rest! For Linux/OSX the user will need some admin privileges for installing the database and the programs. I found it easy, but I am familiar with PHP and Maria DBs (pretty much the same as MySQL).

From there, the content can be created - perhaps some ideas for the next article!
