## Overview

PbootCMS is a PHP content-management system for building multilingual business websites from configurable content and templates. The main workflow is visitors requesting pages, whose controllers retrieve site or content data and pass it through the template-tag parser for rendering; visitors can also search and submit forms. Administrators manage that content and system settings through the protected backend. The README also documents API, membership, AI assistance, and online upgrades. Some subsystem links are based on documented capabilities and tree paths; only sampled source supports the more specific control-flow links shown.

Main entry points: [`apps/admin/controller/IndexController.php`](https://github.com/pbootcmspro/PbootCMS/blob/master/apps/admin/controller/IndexController.php) (Admin Login), [`core/basic/Kernel.php`](https://github.com/pbootcmspro/PbootCMS/blob/master/core/basic/Kernel.php) (Application Framework), [`apps/home/controller`](https://github.com/pbootcmspro/PbootCMS/tree/master/apps/home/controller) (Site Requests), [`core/database/Builder.php`](https://github.com/pbootcmspro/PbootCMS/blob/master/core/database/Builder.php) (Database Drivers)
