PHPBB is a popular internet forum package written in the PHP programming language. The name "phpBB" is an abbreviation of PHP Bulletin Board. Available under the GNU General Public License, phpBB is free software.

History :

phpBB was started by James Atkinson as a simple UBB-like forum for his own website on June 17, 2000. Nathan Codding and John Abela (both now former team members) joined the development team after phpBB's CVS repository was moved to the SourceForge, and work on 1.0.0 began. A fully-functional, pre-release version of phpBB was made available on July 1, 2000.

phpBB 1.0.0 was released on December 9, 2000, with subsequent improvements to the 1.x codebase coming in two more major installments. The final release in the 1.x line was phpBB 1.4.4, released on November 6, 2001. During the lifetime of the 1.x series, Bart van Bragt, Paul S. Owen (former co-manager of the project), Johnathan Haase (now a former team member) and Frank Feingold joined the team.

phpBB 2.0.x was begun on February 17, 2001. It was developed entirely from scratch; the developer's ambitions for phpBB had outgrown the original codebase. Doug Kelly (now a former team member) joined the team shortly afterwards. After a year of development and extensive testing, phpBB 2.0.0, dubbed the "Super Furry" version, was released on April 4, 2002, three days later than intended. Though initial releases supported PHP 3, recent versions of phpBB 2.0 require PHP version 4.0.3 or above. phpBB2 is not officially supported with PHP 5. Nonetheless, phpBB developers have altered the code to function better in such environments.

The latest release in the 2.0.x line is 2.0.22 which was released on December 23, 2006. Releases in the 2.0.x line are now restricted to bug and security fixes only.

The latest in the 3.x line is 3.0 Beta 5, which was released on January 28, 2007. phpBB 3.0 requires PHP version 4.3.3 or above, and is compatible with PHP 5. Although it is not supported, code is also present to allow phpBB3 to run under PHP 6.0.0-dev.
