I have just stumbled across Drupal and have no prior knowledge of it. I designed a very basic site for someone who want the ability to maintain a simple realstate and sponsor listings for little to no cost to setup.

Is Drupal the right choice for creating just two very simple listings?

The site has already been built. With Drupal, can I simply insert a <? php> tag into the existing content the generate the list in-place in the existing site?

Thank you,

Shawn

Drupal is great for any type of site.

It would be better to migrate all of the content into drupal (this assumes that the site is in HTML and not in a scripting language: PHP, ASP, JSP...). The thing about drupal is that it stores all information in a database. You won't have to edit HTML code anymore to make minor changes to the site.

Assumming that Drupal uses PHP: Could I simply take my existing HTML page and insert a php tag where I want the listings to show up?

I know with other publishing applications this is all you need to do to intigrate it into your existing site.

Thank you,

If you know PHP, anything is possible. The problem is that drupal was not designed to do it that way. In drupal, you would have a block that would most likely do that.

"Blocks" are the small, rectangular boxes on the left or the right (with 4.7, you can place them on the top and bottom) of content.

On drupal.org, "New forum topics" is a block. In one of those blocks, you can display a featured property, the latest property, etc.
