advise needed: integration of existing PHP site
Hi All,
Please can anyone advise whether this is possible:
client has an existing custom made site in php with custom DB with following functionality:
- customer registration/subscription/forms
- invoicing
- etcetera
Client wants to have his site into a CMS and also a template change (static pages are now programmed in php, so maintenance is not possible by client)
I have done some simple tests with the "file" tag and that works.
My idea is to build new site in contao and to keep the existing php code and integrate it into contao.
I am not that experienced in php and Contao to be able to see if any issues will show up.
Any advice is very appreciated
thx
frank

No, this is not a stupid idea.
If you can not convert the functionality in Counto this is a solution
Re: advise needed: integration of existing PHP site
Frank, can you edit the insert tag out of your post please?
I've tried to post to you five times without success.
If you want to read my message to you its here zipped as it keeps crashing the forum for a reason I can't figure out. Its only plain text! Refer:
http://www.contao-community.org/view...&t=2997#p13183
Edit: I don't think the insert tag is the problem any more. See referred post.
Re: advise needed: integration of existing PHP site
hi ramjet, i have removed the tag.
where is your reply to my question ? cannot find it :-)
Re: advise needed: integration of existing PHP site
In the forum link above - "post crashes forum.zip"
I'm too scared to try to post it again, as its failed 5 times.
And I really can't be arsed rewriting it, as I've done so twice! :roll:
Re: advise needed: integration of existing PHP site
Actually if you're online now I'd like to try again, and have you tell me whether the forum goes down for you for 10 minutes.
Just reply yes if so, and i'll do it.
Re: advise needed: integration of existing PHP site
Hi ramjet, i'm online now.
ok, the zip in the reply was a post to another post about forum crashes, I thougt it was a reply to my post.
thx
Re: advise needed: integration of existing PHP site
Yip, crash again, and exactly 10 minutes.
Were the forums knocked out for you?
Re: advise needed: integration of existing PHP site
hi ramjet,
forum was off line for a while...... stange...
please pm me of you have any advice about my initial post.
thx
frank
Re: advise needed: integration of existing PHP site
Thanks man.
That zip is my reply to you. You can't attach text files in this forum, and i can't seem to post it. Just download, unzip, read.
Thats 7 times in three threads I've tried to post it now :shock:
I've posted it there so someone can try to see why it does so (its just writing, no code)
Anyway, I needed to know if it takes the forum down or if it was just my IP being blocked.
And it takes the whole forum down, so that means the forum has been offline for 70 minutes today as a result of me trying to answer you!
If anyone wants to discuss, please use the other thread for that.
Cheers
