News:

A mayor rewrite is comming this way, look out! :).
Introducing a lot of new features like mysql support,
scoring, real user handling and much more :)). 0.0.9 will
be the last version that is still file based, after it
phpgo will be ported to mysql and file based support will
be dropped.

About:

phpgo is a go board webclient to play the ancient boardgame called go
on the internet with your friends. It's like playing go by mail, but faster
and the interface is much nicer and illegal moves can't be made because phpgo
is not permitting them.
It is designed for two human players only, NO AI, YES that means you
have to play against yourself or another person you send the game
password to. I can't stress that enough!!!

A working installation of the current verison can be found here.
