Uh... PmWiki updates PmWiki pages... are you wanting some kind
of tool that will allow you to arbitrarily edit your HTML pages?

I guess I'm confused.  It sounds like you are wanting to
edit the output of whatever index.php generates (emphasis on
generates).

PmWiki allows you to easily create/edit content using PmWiki markup
language (pages are stored in flat files in a special format), but really
isn't for editing arbitrary files and isn't
for editing generated live content produced by some king of server
side program (be that php or otherwise).

Am I getting closer to knowing what you're looking for?
??
