Hi,

I am looking for recommendations for a free (or low cost) PHP-based "knowledge base" package for my company's web site. I am currently tracking down candidates on my own, but then thought that getting some feedback might make the process go faster. I'd prefer something that allows

1) subdividing articles based on company division, product, etc., search, administrator statistics, all the usual things
2) a separate area for software downloads...although I suppose these could go in special categories like in 1)
3) user authentication (this is not meant for public access), password recovery, etc.
4) email notification for knowledge base and software updates
5) the ability to disable most/all "interactive" features. This isn't meant as a community forum.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Todd

Try a Wiki - http://sourceforge.net/projects/wikipedia/files/ < this one is the same as Wikipedia uses.

Whenever it comes to selecting a knowledge base software, nothing comes close to the features of 'PHPKB Script' at the price anyone can easily afford. You can search for 'knowledge base script' on Google for its website. Try their online demo and decide for yourself. It has all the features you need in your knowledge base software.
