Need advice on choosing whick wiki
The main thing I'm looking for a wiki that is EASY to embed. Our site is primarily a content site, and only a small portion is wiki. The wiki engines I've looked at seem to be made as if they are the site, rather than a just subset.
Ideally, I want to embed the wiki interface into just a portion of a page keeping the ability to completely control the rest of the page (a fixed template will not work).
BTW it must be free and run on PHP 5 with MySQL or Postgres.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Kipp,
Give Deki Wiki a shot. The API that we use to Extend the Application is also what it is built on so you can embed components of the wiki within other applications. You can download the software here: http://wiki.mindtouch.com/Deki_Wiki

Re: Need advice on choosing whick wiki
Thank's for the suggestion, but my requirements are that it needs to be run in PHP.

Re: Need advice on choosing whick wiki
You can run your website on one server and the wiki on another server, and connect them at the website level. Check out SAP's developer network site at http://sdn.sap.com (it will redirect you to https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn). Note that blogs, wikis, forums, etc. all run alongside one another, but they're using multiple servers and technologies at the backend. In this case they're using Atlassian Confluence (http://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence) as the wiki [disclaimer: I work for Atlassian] but I'm sure you could do this with other wikis listed here. Naturally, I'd like you to give Confluence a try. 
Got any questions please feel free to get in touch with us via email (sales@atlassian.com) or call (+1) 415 701-1110.
Oh, and good luck!
