By 'change management' do you mean something like version control software? CVS,
Subversion, etc?
We use CVS at work and tried setting up Subversion at one point. I don't know, maybe
we're all a bunch of retarded monkies here or maybe both systems are just overly complicated,
but I don't like either of them.
We have a working CVS setup right now, but it's not integrated with Zend Studio (which would be
nice) and we couldn't get Subversion to integrate nicely either so we're just sticking
with CVS for now.
Sad to say, but the easiest, most user-transparent and still functional file locking system
I've ever used was what's built into Microsoft Office applications where it'll tell
you "This file is already open, would you like to open read-only and be alerted when you can
write to it?". But that doesn't contain any version control (unless you turn on
"change tracking" in some MS Office apps).
I don't know about you, Jay, but all we really want to do is keep a record of revisions and be
able to 'diff' between them and have the files lock so if someone tries to open the file
and it's already open, that the user is alerted and allowed to open read-only if they desire.
What kind of features are you looking for in a 'change management' software package?
Maybe someone can recommend an app or two that will fit yours (and maybe our) needs.

I have been searching and digging for a PHP based change management
application but have had little luck. Can anyone make a recommendation?
Thanks!
