Managing multiple websites

Is it possible to manage multiple websites with one instance of phpWCMS (i.e. can they all have their own index.php etc.) ?

yes, if you install phpwcms in difrents folders and using diffrents prefixes like site1_ site2_ etc.. then you can use just one database..

and then I can use the same username across different sites
include some informatie from site1 on site2 etc. ?

well, I have tree different sites, but the same users should be able to edit them

so long they do not have the same content you have to install phpwcms on all 3 sites and have to create the same users in all of them.. but if you have played with phpwcms you will not think it is a problem because phpwcms is wonderfull to work with

thank you for confirming what I already expected
i will just give those people the same user account and they will just have to login several times

Would be a nice mod for the future.

I don't know anything about TYPO3 so I really can't say

I mean that I have the following config:
http://www.url_of_site_1.nl
http://www.url_of_site_2.nl
http://www.url_of_site_3.nl

All of them are on the same server.

And they are all more or less related. The same people manage all three.
So it would be nice if they only have to login in once and can then manage all.
However, visitors still see three separate sites, with their own index pages

my answer is NO.
you will need a new installation for each site.
BUT...
If your host only allows you to have one database (unless you pay for more) you can set all site to use the same database and use different table_prefix's in order to seperate those tables.
you may also if you so choose config each site to use the same resource folders but rembember that NO table data is shared thus a little work will be needed to have all the images and files populated within each of the site unique tables.

seperate logins are needed for each site.
