Converting to Drupal

I have a site that's up and running in Drupal, but as part of the site (integrated currently just as an iFrame and CSS coded to match the look/feel of the overall site), I have an extensive record reviews database (800+ reviews and growing rapidly) that runs via EZDatabase, a simple SQL-based database backend. Now that database is running in an SQL base separate from the one that Drupal's in, so that might make things more difficult.

I need to have my URL look the normal way , for example , the drupal page looks like http://abc.edu/?q=node/2 . But what i actually need is it should look like http://abc.edu/welcome.php. I have tried the ReWrite option. It is enabled in apache.

I am using webform module to have a registration form but i could not view the data in conventional ways as such using $HTTP_PST_VARS.I came to know that drupal saves in the table webform_submitted_data.How to retrieve data from this table.I tried mysql query but could not get in the required form.Please neding valuable suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Let us say we have two sites -

i. http://www.a.com (Drupal site)
ii. http://www.b.com (MediaWiki)

These are hosted on different servers. Can we have b.com available as http:/www.a.com/b? Please suggest the ways to do so?

Thanks and Regards,

I'm working on upgrading a NukePHP site to a Druapl site. Starting with the small ones and working my way up to the larger ones as I gain some knowledge.

Searching the Drupal site, I've found the update/migrate scripts, and have downloaded the latest one from the authors site and spent a couple of days with it:
PHP-Nuke 6.0 -> Drupal 4.7 Migrator
February 24th, 2006
http://www.quillem.com/nuke2drupal

Drupal version 4.7

PHPNuke version 7.8
The site has latest phpNuke version it will work for as 7.1, and I'm on 7.8 right now. Have seen a few notes where it has worked up to 7.9

SQL Version 4.1

Tracking down the error to the mysql_query line below, I placed a "die" function so I could try to get more info, but it seems to leave me as confused as before. Verified that the database is able to connect so that's not the problem. I verified the database names, tables, permissions etc. I'm thinking I'm overlooking something simple.

SELECT COUNT(*) AS usernum FROM doc-ken_nbak.nuke_users You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '-ken_nbak.nuke_users' at line 1

On the above statement, the "SELECT" statement appears okay, but the "use near" statement at the end seems to chop off the prefix "doc" Not sure if that is what is happening that's giving me my problem or if it's just from printing out the error. Echoing variables it seems to be alright.

I have installed drupal and configured it now i need to add registration forms to users to register so that i need to collect information from them.I am designing this site for my college symposium,so i need to have separate login stuff.I need to have form actions in my pages.I have php code to achieve this but could not link to the require pages as drupal considers every page as node.
