PhpGedView is a free PHP-based web application for working with genealogy data on the Internet. The project was
founded and is headed by John Finlay. [4] [5] It is licensed under GPL.
PhpGedView is hosted on Sourceforge, where it was Project of the Month in December 2003. [6] It is a widely used
interactive online genealogy application, with over 1600 registered sites as of November, 2008. [7] On June 26, 2006,
the phpGedView site announced that phpGedView was the most active project at Sourceforge. [8] It was also second
most active in July, 2006. [9]
PhpGedView is installed on a web server. The user can either import a GEDCOM file to populate it or build a
GEDCOM in place. An external genealogy program can be used to create, edit and upload the GEDCOM.
GEDCOMs can also be edited directly in PhpGedView by multiple users registered via the web interface. For each
individual in the GEDCOM, a range of data can be recorded, from standard genealogical information, such as dates
and places, to employment, education, religion, photos, videos, sources of data, and more. Through version 3 it
worked in both MySQL and a non-database index mode. [10] From version 4 on, it works only with a database.
PhpGedView is a multi-user, platform-independent system, allowing for distributed work on a family tree. Users can
view, contribute and approve others' contributions, depending on their status. PhpGedView has several modes for
protecting the privacy of data, [11] such as protecting all data from unregistered users, or protecting data on living
people from unregistered users.
Several types of reports and diagrams can be produced, which can be exported as PDF files for viewing, storing, and
printing. Maps can be generated that show all the locations mentioned for a person.
PhpGedView (version 4.1 and up) supports [12] output to GRAMPS XML file format.
