Mambo (http://www.mamboserver.com/) is alot for open source.

here is a list of different ones though:

As always "it depends". If we're talking open source with some paid add-ins I'd say:

For a general website, Joomla!

For a blog-ish website, WordPress

For e-commerce, OSCommerce

Microsoft Sharepoint.

It's free, and can do an amazing amount of stuff.

If you are considering a CMS and haven't seen it in action you owe yourself to check it out. It blows any open source alternative out of the water.

Slaine - doesn't fit the requirements. It isn't PHP and it isn't MySQL.

Choose carefully, but there's PHPNuke, Xoops, and Joomla! .... they each have their own strengths and their own weaknesses. In general, I agree with bgmacaw's listing there.

I've heard many good things about Drupal (http://drupal.org/) and also Plone (http://plone.org/), but I think plone might be python based instead of php.
