just out of curiosity: what were your reasons to select PhpWiki?

I'm in the process to switch from PhpWiki to PmWiki. Maybe I 
shouldn't do so.

it's _very_ old and lacks many interesting improvements of 1.3.*

It depends on what you need. Authentication, ACL, many new plugins?

1.3.13 would be my choice (if I used PhpWiki again) but 
http://phpwiki.org/ states since nearly one year "The current 1.3.x 
phpwiki on sf.net is currently down, due to yet unknown 
circumstances" so there is a risk you get in trouble, too. I'm 
running 1.3.12p3 without larger problems, but I once had a problem 
with PhpWiki 1.3.4 when my ISP updated to PHP 4.4.4 (database 
corrupted, had to restore from plain text backup).

Any special reason why you want to use MySQL?
