PhpWiki is wiki software written in PHP. The first version, by Steve Wainstead, was in December 1999 and was the first Wiki written in PHP to be publicly released. Wiki software is a type of collaborative software that runs a Wiki system. ... PHP is an open-source, reflective programming language. ...
The first version ran under PHP 3.x and ran on DBM files only. It was a feature-for-feature reimplementation of the original WikiWikiWeb at c2.com.
In early 2000 Arno Hollosi contributed a second database library to run PhpWiki on MySQL; from then on the features and contributions started to pile up, including a templating system, color diffs, rewrites of the rendering engine and much more. Arno was interested in running a wiki for the game Go. http://senseis.xmp.net/?GoWiki
Jeff Dairiki would be the next major contributor, and would soon head the project for the next couple of years. His interest was in Hammond Organs, and runs a wiki for Hammonds: http://www.dairiki.org/HammondWiki/
Reini Urban, Carsten Klapp, and Joel Uckerman are the primary developers today and PhpWiki is actively maintained and developed.

If this metadata needs to be maintained in the migration, a more complex conversion method will be required that retains this data and uses it in the database insertion step of the process.
It is possible by using a trick with the PhpWiki metadata: if the title name is the same as the author name, then put the page into namespace=2.
Even if PhpWiki provided a dump method that implicitly called the plugins and spat out their output, this could cause a mess when it comes to RedirectToPlugin and probably other convertable plugins (we'd get HTML tables instead of being able to convert OldStyleTable markup to MediaWiki table wikicode, for example).
