I installed an old version of Wikipedia (a personal

III version) on my server. But I have many (small) problems with it. I don't
need all Wikipedia stuffs (basic Usemod Wiki is enough), but as I want to
customize it, I'm looking for a PHP/MySQL version. My questions are:
Does some one know where I can found a PHP version of Usemod Wiki?
No such thing exists; UseModWiki is written in Perl.
There are many wiki programs written in PHP; PhpWiki is fairly popular,
and I believe our diff function is borrowed from it, but otherwise it
bears no relation to our code. I don't know how similar it is in
formatting etc.
See:
http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/
Do you restart the PHP version of Wikipedia from
scratch?
The current (phase 3) code was largely written anew by Lee Daniel
Crocker, but partially based on the phase 2 code. The phase 2 code was
written from scratch by Magnus Manske. A few parsing functions might
have been based directly on UseModWiki code (?) but the overall code
structure is totally different.
