Recommendations for a Free forum to drop into my php website?

Hi,

I have finished a webshop (coded in php, Javascript, MySQL) for a client and they want to add a Forum . Does anyone have any recommendations for a free forum I can just drop in with minimal setup ?

In an ideal world it would be good if it used MySQL so I can create a forum account at the same time they create their customer account, but its not the end of the world if that's not possible.
 

Many thanks

I may be old, but last I knew phpBB and vBulletin were still the two reigning kings of free, traditional-style PHP forum platforms.

But are you sure you want a forum? For an ecommerce site? Maybe what you need instead is some form of product discussion capability? Disqus is something I see in a variety of places. Not free, but cheap, and if the shop can't afford $9 a month then it's not profitable enough to survive in the first place.
