PhpWiki lets you extend it with new functionality via a plugin
mechanism. In short, you extend a PHP class we provide and customize
it to print out the content you want. For more information see
[WikiPlugin|Help:WikiPlugin], Help:HelloWorldPlugin, and view the source of the files in
<tt>lib/plugin</tt>.

If there is no example page for the plugin, or you need more
information, the best place to go is the source of the plugin. Under
your wiki's root directory, the folder <tt>lib/plugin</tt> contains all the PHP
files for the plugins.
