PasteWizard is a modern PHP and MySQL Pastebin script designed for running your own code-sharing or note-sharing platform.

It provides a flexible environment for creating and managing public, unlisted, and private pastes, with options for password protection, expiration, folders, tagging, syntax highlighting, and burn-after-read content.

The platform includes a user dashboard for managing pastes, a searchable browsing experience, administrative controls, and a REST API for developer integrations. Its security-focused architecture includes CSRF protection, bcrypt password hashing, secure sessions, XSS-safe output, API tokens, rate-limit structure, and automatic cleanup of expired content.

PasteWizard also includes an administration panel for managing users, pastes, traffic, site settings, CAPTCHA options, SEO settings, custom pages, and maintenance controls. The responsive Bulma-based interface supports mobile-friendly paste viewing and dark/light theme capability.
