However, a number of unauthorized phpBB2 support sites have sprung up to fill the hole. Furthermore, as of February 1, 2009, all development for phpBB2, including security fixes, has halted. The 2.0.x support forums have been disabled since official support for phpBB2 terminated on January 1, 2009. Under PHP 5, phpBB2 was never officially supported.ĭespite the fact that many users had no difficulty running it after making a few tweaks to PHP 5’s default configuration settings, the teams decided not to provide support for it. The source code was written primarily for PHP 3.0 and 4.0 (version 2.0.13 increased the minimum requirement to PHP 4.0.3 due to a necessary security fix), and by the time phpBB3 was released in late 2007, the developers and other team members felt that it no longer met their quality coding standards, and announced plans to retire/end support for 2.0.x within a few months of 3.0.0’s release. PhpBB2 was the forerunner of the current phpBB3.
phpBB 2.0.0, called “Super Furry,” was published on April 4, 2002, three days later than planned, after a year of development and thorough testing. Shortly after, Doug Kelly joined the team. The developer’s plans for phpBB had outgrown the previous core, therefore phpBB 2.0.x began development totally from scratch in February 2001. Support for several database engines (PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server), hierarchical subforums, topic split/merge/ lock, user groups, multiple attachments per post, full-text search, plugins, and many notification settings are among the features of phpBB (e-mail, Jabber instant messaging, ATOM feeds). phpBB is a free and open-source forum software that is licensed under the GNU General Public License. The acronym “phpBB” stands for PHP Bulletin Board. PhpBB is a PHP scripting language-based Internet forum package.
