PHP-based Genealogy Software?

Anyone know of some good PHP-based genealogy software? Rebekah started working on our family tree, but doesn't like the site she's using. I'd also like to have it at our disposal, so we can customize it and have full control of the information.

I found TUFaT and TNG 5, but I'm a big fan of try-before-you-buy (or not buying, but contributing back to the project). I just ran across PhpGedView, which we'll probably give a try. It seems like it's under active development and has been around for a couple of years.

Well worth the price... he updates often and is very responsive.

I'll have a look. Thanks!
