Hi Peter,
Many CMS's contain multi-site functionality, which allows you to install
code once and run many sites from the same or several different
databases. Not sure about PHPNuke - but I have read about this
funcionality in other PHP CMS's (and I think Plone does it too!) What
happends in some cases (when you are restricted to one database by your
host.) is that people will place a prefix on the name of their tables
(again functionality built into some CMSs). So a user table might look
something like site1_usertable, site2_usertable, etc. for each and
every table. It's ugly because you can frequently have hundreds of
tables in your database - but does work.
