Celebrating 25 years of phpMyFAQ

What started as a small PHP 3 script for an unofficial FAQ at a German hosting company has grown into a mature, multilingual open-source FAQ platform used around the world. Twenty-five years of continuous development, community contributions, and a passion for making knowledge accessible.

Knowledge is evolving – and so is phpMyFAQ. Look forward with the upcoming 4.1 and 4.2 releases to a future where we combine modern intelligence with AI Agent support via MCP and intuitive user experience to take self-service support to a whole new level.
