To add onto all the other cool stuff in Deki Wiki v8.05, I also wanted to mention that we now have a PHP extension for DekiWiki. Which means that you can now have your own PHP server communicate with DekiWiki via DekiScript. For more details on how to set it up, you can refer to the tutorial Deki Extensions for PHP.

In order to allow the above extension to work, we’ve also made it so that anyone can communicate with DekiScript via XML-RPC. So, even if you don’t have a PHP server, you can still take advantage of the fact that DekiWiki will understand requests to it in standard XML-RPC format.

And finally, as icing on top of all this, we also have the XML return type enabled for the PHP extension (even though that type does not exist in XML-RPC), this means that you can also return things inside of HTML formatted tags and DekiScript will integrate your XML code into your DekiWiki page. For more information on how to build out HTML that can be embedded into your wiki page, you can refer to Steve’s page on this: HTML Page Composition.
