Where is the smallest PHP Forum?

Question

I know there are minimalist forums out there like punBB - but has anyone ever run into a super tiny forum/discussion system that was barely more than posting comments? Are there any microscopic forums hidden on google code or github?

I found a PHP version of ruby's Beast written in CodeIgniter - but it was still pretty large.

Answer 1

There is a forum built as a Joomla plugin called SimplestForum. It's pretty tiny.

Answer 2

I'm thinking Vanilla, not sure how much is too big or too small for you.

Answer 3

I wrote a small mini-forum system before that was basically just a categorized guestbook (= it supports multiple threads, but no subforums, user setup or whatever). I think it consisted of two php files and two text files as the database. (found the files) It actually stores the data in a simple mysql database, has two php files, one setting file (for the mysql connection) and a style sheet :P If you are interested I could make that public.

But it's really not hard to do it yourself, even if you add a user database or other things to it.

<form action="" method="POST">Name:<input name="a">Message:<textarea name="b"></textarea><input type="submit"></form><?php if (count($_POST) != 0) { $fp = fopen(str_replace('/','',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']),"a"); $c = '<b>'.strip_tags($_POST['a']).': </b>'.strip_tags($_POST['b']).'<hr>'; fwrite($fp,$c); echo '<META HTTP-...EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT=0>'; } ?>
