Sounds like an odd request but I use a programme written in php (uses its own MySQL d/base) that is impossible to integrate with XOOPS in any way.

I know we can wrap XOOPS around html sites and am wondering if it's possible to do it with a php prog?

If would make life **so** much simpler for me if it could be done!

I had something similar...I had a program running with its own MySQL database and using PHP.

It wasn't until recently that I switch over to Xoops. So in order to incorporate the program, I created a module out of it.

I'm probably going to get blasted for this, but being a complete noob on creating XOOPS modules, I was able to poke around and find enough info to create the module. Plus I wanted to keep the php (well mostly) and the db separate so I didn't have to do much rework.

For each php file add:

<?php
include("../../mainfile.php");
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");
$xoopsOption['show_rblock'] = 1;

at the header and:

include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php");
?>

at the footer.

Then create a xoops_version.php file that should contain something like the following:

<?php
$modversion['name'] = "Name of module here";//name of module
$modversion['version'] = 1.0;
$modversion['description'] = "Description";
$modversion['author'] = "author";
$modversion['credits'] = "";
$modversion['help'] = "";
$modversion['license'] = "GPL see LICENSE";
$modversion['official'] = 0;
$modversion['image'] = "images/logo.jpg";//this is the location of the module logo
$modversion['dirname'] = "dir";//name of directory on server

// Admin things
$modversion['hasAdmin'] = 0;
$modversion['adminpath'] = "";

// Menu/Sub Menu
$modversion['hasMain'] = 1;//make 0 to not have this appear in main menu
//$modversion['sub'][2]['name'] = _MI_MYPAGE_SMNAME2;
//$modversion['sub'][2]['url'] = "../../modules/weblog/";
?>

Then just upload it like any other module and activate it...

Hope I didn't make it more confusing...

You can see the 'Divsions' module at Mobile Fantasy Football League

It uses the php and MySQL I had before I switched to Xoops.
The site is still a work in progress (just switched to XOOPS a couple of weeks ago), I'm trying to get it ready for the 2005 season.

Interesting... it might not work with the one I had in mind as it uses UTF-8 as well (just to make it all harder <g>> but I can give it a try :) Thanks!
