Portable PHP/MySQL Corporate Intranet System
PPCIS is a portable, modular, intranet system. It features a news page with topic filtering, user submission, and admin authorisation, a directory with support for internal lists, external contacts, and Web links, a helpdesk, with call logging, history, and a F.A.Q. database, and a file store, with hierarchical file storage and group-based security. There are several levels of administrative rights, meaning that different people can be responsible for maintaining different parts of the system. The system has a centrally configured colour scheme and logo, so rebranding is easy.

Recent releases
- 20 Feb 2005 20:22
Changes: This has been a huge rewrite. Features are documented on the Web site. The biggest changes are language support, stylesheet support, and many improvements to all parts of the system.
- 01 Nov 2002 01:46
Changes: Some minor code cleanups were made.
- 28 Oct 2002 02:37
Changes: This version adds the last few help files, fixes a minor display bug involving quotes and slashes in the files, and increases security where two copies of PPCIS are running on virtual hosts on the same domain. Previously, logging into one got you logged in to any others; now switching between them will log users out.
- 21 Oct 2002 15:26
Changes: This release fixes the file uploading system that broke in 0.95. All users of version 0.95 are urged to upgrade to 0.96 if they wish to make use of the file library module.
- 18 Oct 2002 20:54
Changes: The help has been extended to all areas apart from the library, and all of the typos in there have been corrected. The external directory admin page now works properly, and an SQL bug was fixed in there. The biggest change is that PPCIS now works in PHP installations where the php_globals=off directive is set (which is the default since 4.2) so potential users with recent PHP installations can now use this product.

Recent commentsSorry it took so long (:
It's been far from the only thing I've been working on.
unfortunately, writing free software isn't what makes
me a living, so it's not first priority. Hopefully the
advances made in version 2.0 will show people that I
haven't abandoned this software in any way.
New release soon
This project hasn't dropped from the face of the Earth! No, far from it.
The next version is currently in alpha, in that it isn't feature complete. It is being used by my employers, and so far the number of bugs seems to be very low.
I expect it to go beta (feature complete) in about a month, if all goes well. I'll announce that on the site and on Freshmeat, and brave users will be able to download it. It should be stable enough, but I won't announce it as a release version until it's been properly tested.
For a round-up of the changes that should see the next release, go to http://www.ppcis.org/ and have a look at the news.

The page that flashes up is just the authentication script, and won't give you any useable error messages.
The most common cause of password failure is a alck of cookie support. You version of PHP does support sessions, and PPCIS relies on these 100% to keep you logged in.
You will need to accept the session cookie that PPCIS gives you when you start up, so make sure that your browser accepts at least those. Session cookies are not persistent, and so you will be logged out if you close your browser.

Sorry, that one never occurred to me. You can hunt through the source for mail( and change the strings in the code just before it...
I'll have this done as a variable in future. I'm thinking of having much of the config in the database anyway, as the settings.inc is getting large.
