Hello
I am pretty new to Drupal. I wanted to develop a site pretty quick for porting my existing site to Drupal. What I am trying to do is - create pages corresponding my old pages and provide them through menu. So user will be able to use the functionality by navigating through Primary links or menu. My back end scripts are PHP script ( basically from my forms I wanted to access the forms php scripts in the back end !! ). I was wondering where can I put my old scripts in the drupal directory so that the pages works as such ... Is there any settings required for this ?
Make sure to use the PATH module and assign your external URL to an alias matching the old path.
So for example in my old site I have example.com/foo.php and example.com/bar.php. I store these in a directory oldsite under the Drupal root directory then in my drupal admin/config/search/path UI I add http://example.com/oldsite/foo.php aliased to foo.php and http://example.com/oldsite/bar.php aliased to bar.php. Then the user will still see example.com/foo.php and example.com/bar.php. This also leaves your search engine links in tact.
Good luck,
