To expand on what Eloi said... Yes, but you want to do this as a
phpWebSite *module* - rebuilding the phpWebSite core would *not* be the
way to go - upgrades, security fixes, etc. become a nightmare since you
essentially would have to maintain a fork of the project.

The phpWebSite module system allows you you seamlessly integrate an
application (complete with whatever database interaction is required)
without disrupting the core. Developer docs are lacking... sorry... but
look at a few modules. I would recommend looking at the photo album as a
good starting point.
