phpizabi is actually good, the reason the guy had problems is because it requires ioncubes. the new version, Alicia, will not have that requirement and it will be much easier to run. I have played with izabi a lil, but I think ill wait for the Alicia to come out.

in my opinion PHPfox is ugly and not worth the $$
