Wiki and PHP advise

Hi group,

I am looking for a Wiki powered by PHP.
I found many here:
www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiEngines

And a nice top10 list here:
www.c2.com/cgi/wiki?TopTenWikiEngines

Does anybody in here have some firsthand experience with some of them?

I am looking mainly for a Wiki that supports technical documentation, which
I expect boils down to uploading technical documents in various formats.

I am looking through them now myself, but I would appriciate your
experiences.
It takes a lot of time to test 1 Wiki, let alone 50-something. :P

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Erwin Moller

When you refer to uploading documents, do you mean that you're going to use
the wiki more as a file repository than a set of pages? I think there are
some dedicated solutions for that which might not turn up in a search for
wiki systems, so if that's your goal you might want to expand your search to
systems for storing files.

If you do want a wiki, you might look at MediaWiki (the engine that powers
e.g. Wikipedia). It may be overkill, as it's pretty complex and loaded with
features, but AFAIK its file handling is quite good.

See

for more info about it.

they are categorized in their "Cookbook". They have tons of skins. Found
it very easy to install\update.

Just added a few tracking recipes to a test site:

You can see a recipe for counts on the left margin and select 'Site
Statistics' to see another Recipe.
