PhpGedView (PGV) is a revolutionary genealogy program which allows you to view and edit your genealogy using a web interface. As a flexible, collaborative web server program, hosted online, PhpGedView has full editing capabilities, full privacy functions, can import standard GEDCOM text files from most genealogy programs, and it supports multimedia like photos and document images. PhpGedView also simplifies the process of allowing others to add to your family tree by presenting all of these functions via a standard web server and browser interface. By using PhpGedView, your latest genealogy information is always on your website and available for others to see. PhpGedView can run locally on your computer using a webserver, but it is not like typical desktop programs. It requires access to an http server, a database and php. Easy to use and install versions of these functions can be installed with several programs designed for local use - like XAMMP, MAMP and LAMMP - depending on your operating system. However, PhpGedView's primary mission is to foster good, collaborative genealogical practices via a web environment, allowing you to share your family history and expand your tree with the help of others. To learn more about PhpGedView and how it can help you with your genealogy, please read more on the ABOUT page.
