What was Stack Overflow built with?

Does anybody know which PHP script Super User is using? I plan to set-up a web site for college education issues. But I want it to have a script like superuser.com.

Where can I get this script?

    It's just a modded version of phpBB really.

It's not PHP, it's ASP.NET.

As already mentioned, StackOverflow/ServerFault/SuperUser/... uses ASP.NET and the whole Microsoft Stack.

You might want to read the discussion about SO clones one meta.stackoverflow.com (which is where your question belongs IMHO).

Complex PHP websites are made of more than one script. A website like SU wouldn't be very difficult with PHP and a database, but SU was made with love :3

So, you want something like SU? Get learning PHP, it'll be great fun :)

  • Note I was saying like with exactly that in mind. Something where you can post questions and then other users can post answers on them is something anybody with a few weeks of PHP knowledge could do. Building something as slick, visually impressive, integrated, and speedy as SO is certainly not.
