PHP-Nuke is an open-source Content Management System (CMS) built on PHP and MySQL. Originally developed as a news publishing and portal system, it quickly evolved into a flexible platform for building online communities. Released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), PHP-Nuke gave developers and webmasters the freedom to modify, distribute, and expand the software without limitations.<\/p>\r\n
