This manual is presented in three distinct volumes. The first volume is for the typical day to day user of the software. This volume contains information on how to use most of the core modules which comprise a minimal installation, as well as information on how to use the many modules that can be optionally installed. The instructions presented in this volume assume little or no technical expertise - any user familiar with a web browser should be at home here. This volume assumes you have a working copy of phpWebSite installed and access to the modules covered.

The second volume contains information regarding how to install, upgrade, and maintain phpWebSite. The reader is assumed to be familiar with basic systems administration skills. A solid understanding of your operating system, database and web server is required. A working knowledge of PHP is helpful, but not required.

The third volume is for the developer who wishes to write modules for phpWebSite. It fully discusses the phpWebSite API and covers the technical inner-workings of phpWebSite. A firm understanding of PHP and object oriented programing is required.
