History

PHP-Fusion is a light-weight open-source content management system written and developed by Nick Jones in PHP. It uses a MySQL database to store a web site's content and comes with a simple but comprehensive administration system. PHP-Fusion includes features common in many other CMS packages.

PHP-Fusion is now supported in more than twenty languages besides English. Each of them are hosted on national support sites that bring together tens of thousands of users world-wide. Further support sites are lining up for official recognition.

It is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License however, version 7 will be licensed under the Affero General Public License.

PHP-Fusion offers users the opportunity to expand the standard packages with so-called "infusions". These infusions can be easily uploaded, installed, and managed. There are a lot of infusions available, a reasonable amount has also been checked to work with PHP-Fusion and may thus be found in the official PHP-Fusion Mods Database. Next to infusions, there are mods, which mostly alter core code, and panels, which appear on either one of the side bars. These are both also widely available, and checked and posted in the PHP-Fusion Mods Database.

PHP-Fusion also offers to create themes and use them on their web site, without much hard work. There are two files, theme.php and styles.css, in which most of the theme can be defined and altered.
