    😁 Hello!

    I was wondering if Tiki is right for me.
    I want to start my own website. I looked a MediaWiki (No, Not Related At All, I Don't Think), but it looked like I had to download tons of programs for that and get a certain server. So, I was thinking about Tiki, which I stumbled upon while searching for something on the internet. Okay. Let's begin!
    What do you need to have on your computer for Tiki to work? I have Windows XP, so I want to know if it would work without any special programs. Also, do I have to know PHP, or is it very simple to use Tiki? I already know HTML and JavaScript, and I don't really think I have the time for learning PHP. And last, can I see some of your sites using TW? Thank you!

    Yes, but do I need to know alot of PHP, or just enough to set it up. And, I read you need MySQL. What's MySQL? Is that included with the download? Thank you!

    PS
    I'm 90% sure I'll use TikiWiki!

    No you don't need to know PHP to setup and use tikiwiki. MySQL is a database where all the content of your site is stored. You should try using easyPHP, it's got everything you need.. InstallEasyPhpAndTiki

    😀 Yay! Thank you, everyone. I am now sure I will use Tiki. I have found a server that supports PHP files and I can't wait to get started! Thank you! 😀
