PHP-Nuke is a web-based automated news publishing andcontent management system based onPHP andMySQL originally written by Francisco Burzi. The system is controlled using a web-based user interface. PHP-Nuke was originally afork of the Thatware news portal system by David Norman.
PHP-Nuke was originally released under theGNU General Public License asfree software. Versions after 7.5 required a license fee; from version 8.3 it became free again. This is permitted under theGPL (providing thesource code is included), and the purchaser of the software has the right to freely distribute the source code of the product. Burzi no longer owns the PHP-Nuke site.
As of version 5.6, the display of acopyright message on webpages is required in accordance with the GPL section 2(c).[3]

PHP-Nuke is a content management system allowing webmasters to create community-based portals (websites), allowing users and editors to post news items (user-submitted news items are selected by editors) or other types of articles. Registered users can then comment on these articles.
Modules can be added to the PHP-Nuke system allowing additional features such as anInternet forum, Calendar, News Feed,FAQs, Private Messaging and others. The site is maintained through an administration interface.

PHP-Nuke supports many languages and its look and feel can be customized using theThemes system, but major changes requires knowledge of PHP, HTML and CSS.
Several security holes have been discovered in PHP-Nuke, includingSQL injection via unchecked PHP code.[4][5] PHP-Nuke may have issues with some search engine indexes. PHP-Nuke does not use simple URLs or unique titles for pages.
PHP-Nuke is distributed for free and licensed under the GNU/GPL license; however, current versions must be purchased and can then be distributed for free.
The PHP-Nuke website is now owned by Bibado Investments S.L. which is also a distributor of unwanted programs (adware).[6][7]
