PHP Bug Tracking script, (Ant like)?

    I have looked around a bit for a good bug tracking software but as I don't recognize any of the names I was hopping one of you would point me in the right direction.

    Apache's Ant is an obvious solution but my host makes it somewhat difficult to run and install, (or maybe I am just plain lazy).

    So, what bug tracking script would you recommend?
    As a PHP developer I would prefer a PHP script, (hence the reason why I ask here).

    Many thanks in advance.

    The Mantis ( http://www.mantisbugtracker.com ) bug tracker is great. Admittedly, it doesn't have hooks to build environments like Ant and Trac apparently have, but unless you need that integration, I would recommend it...

    Looks great, but it uses Python.
    I am not sure if my host allows it.

    It will be the same problem as perl with Ant.

    Why don't you try Bugzilla? (bugzilla.org)
    I know it's Perl based but IMVHO it's one of the best Bug tracking software..

    bugzilla is a great application. I had trouble when I tried setting it up, personally....results may differ though.

    What kind of troubles?
    Have you tried asking at the IRC channel irc://irc.mozilla.org/mozwebtools ? People are really helpful there :)

    If you have some $$ to spare - you may always rent some people to adjust bugzilla to your needs.. (I personally know at least several people "skilled in" & "ready to go" for such job ;) )

    I don't need it anymore, but when I did try to install it I had some issues...that's all.

    I like bugzilla, I used it a long time ago and I am sure it has improved a lot now.

    But the problem is that I need an online solution, (because I move quite a bit and I want to keep track of my bugs in one place).

    But installing a perl application on my server is not a trivial matter.
    I have no command line access and so on.

    I am sure it can be done, but a php script must be better, (in my experience).
