I have made one which isn't available publicly (PHP/MYSQL). It works better then Links 2.0 but not as fast as Links SQL. I find having my own code easier to mod and manage. I like Gossamer-Threads, and have a links sql license. It is a superior product to mine.

Anyway, I am not going to release mine soon, and if I do, I won't mention it on the forums here, I think that would not be fair. If there are really, really, rich people out there that want to make me an offer for mine though I am happy to talk :-)

Yes there is a version in php/mysql that works like links which has not long been released by the company who made it. They have a free version which means you leave their link on every page - buy for USD195 and you can take their link off it..

One of the strongest features of In-link is that it is completely template-based, meaning that the entire engine's look and its output can be modified, customized and integrated into any web site. In simple words, you can take In-link and easily make it look like a part of your web site! In-link has build in template editors that allow you to modify any visual element of the engine, as well as a configuration editor that allows you to modify system parameters.

In-link is entirely based on SQL, making it a very flexible directory engine allowing for instantaneous updates and feeding live data directly into your web site. In-link is a truly dynamic engine that pulls, processes and displays all of the data on the fly directly from the database. SQL allows for smooth performance even on websites associated with large volumes of data and traffic. In-link places no limitations on the volume of data, data structural depth or complexity.

In-link includes a number of features that make this directory engine stand out. In-link stores detailed information about all the links in the database, including data the link was added, number of hits, number of votes and its overall rating. In-link allows to perform advanced search on all links and categories, set permissions for adding new links, add new links and rate the existing links. In-link displays top rated and most popular links, maintains a count on all the categories and links and keeps permissions for every category.
And here is the url

And it was only a matter of time before someone bought something like linksql out in php/mysql..

And sorry to say we are looking a seriously switching to it ourselves as well as moving to a new server. And as Elliot said we found it on Hotscripts.com as we have been looking for sometime for a script like Links but in php..Now we have it..

Yes but do they give the same support and do they have plugins and mods?

I expect the answer is no.
