Several free PHP CMS content management systems we may be using

In the past, we had to be a little technical to build a website, because we needed to write the programs ourselves, but now we can quickly build a website by just finding a free CMS from a source code website, so it is not difficult to build a website now. . Moreover, the costs of domain names and hosts are also gradually decreasing. In the early years, we mostly used ASP programs when building websites. To a certain extent, the hosts, programs and even the courses in schools that we came into contact with in mainland China were still ASP-based.

However, with the popularity of hosts, overseas merchants (we understand), and most of the overseas merchants are mainly Linux-based hosts, so our shift from ASP to PHP will also have a certain impact to a certain extent. . Of course, among the many free CMS programs provided, there are many free PHP CMS programs.

A few days ago, a friend needed to build a content-type website and asked what PHP CMS to use, so Snail took a look at what free PHP CMS programs are still being maintained and updated on the Internet. For me, I've been exposed to Empire and Dreamweaver before, but I haven't seen them for many years and I don't know if they still exist.

First, Empire CMS (www.phome.net)

In Snail’s impression, Imperial CMS has been around for many years. I built a model website many years ago and I had to choose between Imperial CMS and DEDECMS. In comparison, Imperial CMS may be a bit cumbersome to get started with ( feeling at the time), but in the reputation of many netizens, the security seems to be relatively good.

I just went to the official website to see that the official version has reached 7.2, and the new version 7.5 is already in the testing phase. Empire CMS is suitable for content websites with larger data, and it supports the generation of HTML static pages.

PS: Snail has used their Imperial Backup King before, and it is good for virtual host backup website.

Second, DEDECMS (www.dedecms.com)

DEDECMS (Dreamweaver), this PHP CMS program is definitely familiar to us. If we are webmasters with a little bit of website building experience, we have probably used it, because it is easy to get started and can also generate static pages. There are many imitation templates and free templates on the Internet. Whether it is a content-type website or a corporate website template, you can easily find it.

However, DEDECMS is also quite controversial, especially in terms of security. Many security issues have been reported, so if you want to use this CMS, you must take security precautions, such as timely upgrades and backups. , and if we only use the content management module, we can delete the membership and auxiliary plug-in function modules.

Currently, DEDECMS seems to be also being updated and has reached version V5.7 SP2.

Third, PHPCMS (www.phpcms.cn)

First of all, I want to praise the official website domain name of this CMS merchant, which is quite clever. According to its official website, PHPCMS V9 uses PHP5+MYSQL as the technical basis for development, and uses OOP (object-oriented) method to build the basic operating framework. Modular development method as a functional development method is easier to carry out secondary development.

Judging from the update status of V9, there have been updates and upgrades in the past two months, and it seems that it is still under maintenance. I have never installed or used Snail before, but I have heard of it, and it should be one of the programs that has been around for several years.

Fourth, Qibo CMS (www.qibosoft.com)

I have heard of Qibo CMS before, and had contact with their corporate website system many years ago. This merchant has been in operation for many years. I just went to the official website to take a look. It provides quite a lot of programs, such as corporate website systems, classified information systems, B2B website systems, videos, information, downloads, pictures and other CMS programs in various fields.

Fifth, Chanzhi Enterprise Portal System (www.chanzhi.org)

Chanzhi, the name is a bit interesting. This PHP CMS program is mainly aimed at corporate marketing integration, including products, articles, forums, comments, blogs, and also has a built-in WeChat public platform that supports computers, mobile phones, and WeChat full network functions. .

Sixth, Joomla (www.joomla.org)

Mentioning so many PHP CMS programs in mainland China, one must mention a foreign one. Joomla, this CMS program actually has a lot of users. The company I worked for previously used the Joomla CMS program to provide technology to clients’ corporate websites. There is also a Chinese version, and there are quite a lot of Chinese learning documents.

In summary, the above listed PHP CMS programs from mainland China and abroad should be considered to be currently used by many users and have been updated and maintained. There is no blog program similar to WORDPRESS here. I will have the opportunity to sort out the current mainstream blog systems (actually there are only a few) later. Regarding the choice of PHP CMS program, we only need to choose one that we think is suitable for us, and then study and use it in depth. We do not need to be familiar with each one, because the functions that can be achieved are similar.
