'''PhpGedView''' is a [[Free Software|free]] [[PHP]]-based [[web application]] for working with [[genealogy]] data on the [[Internet]]. The project was founded and is headed by John Finlay.<ref>[http://wiki.phpgedview.net/en/index.php?title=What_is_PhpGedView PhpGedView - PGVWiki:History]- "I decided to develop PhpGedView because I wanted to update the genealogy area on my web site and decided to look around for a dynamic GEDCOM to HTML converter. I looked at few programs, but was sadly disappointed at the design and layout of them. This led me to begin creating my own. I soon released the first version on SourceForge in June 2002.– John Finlay"</ref><ref>[http://announcements.eogn.com/2006/04/neumont_univers.html EOGN's Announcements: Neumont University offers free PhpGedView:April 19, 2006] - "Neumont University instructor John Finlay graduated in Computer Engineering from Brigham Young University and worked in the BYU Harold B.
