Hi All,

I have created a basic site that allows for admins to register, update their details and to create custom content. I also made it possible for me to delete or disable abilities for those admins. I created this site in basic HTML/PHP and would now like to use Drupal. I realise I could make use of the internal systems but would like to displays myself.

On my previous site I would have a form, the form commits to another part of that same page with the PHP $_POST results. In this section I would then have a check and then commit to database statement. I can use most systems that Drupal provides, ie Permissions, user management, etc... but I cannot find any place in the Documentation showing how I can add my own form and display code.

I would really like to add my own forms, tables and graphics and be able to redirect to other forms in the same files.

I also would like to make reference to the ladder that I am using, for this I will be making direct reference to the database and will need to have a PHP module made for this information retrieval.

I can provide some code that I have from my own custom site.

Am I perhaps approaching Drupal in the wrong way then?

Thanks for the assistance in advance,

Trappies

I think it would make a little more sense to use the Forms API in drupal to recreate your forms & create custom modules for things like your ladder.

Hi,

I had a look at this : http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/topics/forms_api.html as you suggested. But how do I create my own view of a custom written search?

I want to be able to place a block of PHP into the module.

Can that be done?

Trappies.
