Converting to Drupal

I have a club registration web site done in PHP/msql which I want to move to drupal . What is the best way to do this. I am thinking of first creating the input form in Drupal . How do I move the old tables and make them work with drupal ?

Hi i'm currently converting my website over to a Drupal system, however this is my first time at doing this and i need some help getting it looking like i want it.
Its a scouting group site which caters for all sections (beaver, cubs , scouts and genral group info) and as such stories for each section will be posted.

Hi,
I'm migrating Vivvo to Drupal. I facing date related issues. Vivvo stores dates in Mysql datetime format, but Drupal store it in int format.
I changed field type (node.created) to datetime format and perform migration. And after migrating node table I reverted date filed to int format. But Drupal is not showing dates correctly

Hello,

I am building a website from a huge amount of files that are generated from a shell script, I have found a way to insert the generated HTML pages into drupal by using the following code:


<?
function mySave($type, $title, $body)
{

$edit = array();
$edit['type'] = $type;
// get the node type defaults
$edit['uid'] = 1;
$edit['name'] = 'mathQuestion';
$edit['promote'] = 0;
$edit['comment'] = 0;
//$edit['revision'] = ;
$edit['format'] = FILTER_HTML_ESCAPE;
$edit['status'] = 1;

$edit['title'] = $title;
$edit['body'] = $body;

$edit['date'] = format_date(time(), 'custom', 'Y-m-d H:i:s O');

node_invoke_nodeapi($edit, $type);

node_validate($edit);
if ($errors = form_get_errors()) {
print_r($errors);
}

$node = node_submit($edit);
node_save($node);
}

include_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);

if($_SERVER['argc'] != 4)
{
echo "Expected 3 arguments: FileName,Question,PageNumber\n";
die();
}
$arg=$_SERVER['argv'];
$title=$arg[2] . $arg[3];

$myFile=$arg[1];

Hi all,

I brought this up to DrupalDude as well but I need some help on this. Here is the email I sent him.

Hello Drupal Users/Developers,

I work for an academic institution that offers mini-courses for faculty, staff, and students with online registration. The system we use currently to register and administer these classes is less than desirable.

We were looking to see if Drupal is a possible solution to our problem and was wondering if anyone out there has used it for the same purposes as listed below or knows someone who has, knew of a Boston area developer who might be interested in pursuing this project, or if someone could recommend something else if not easily done?

We would need:

-To integrate drupal and authentication with a CAS server using LDAP (we don’t want to house the user database, just connect users fro the campus’ existing database with courses they wish to enroll in – currently, we query the campus’ database regularly and import their data in our own database that is then used for authentication.)
-To allow online registration by campus users using above system
-Ability for user to sort items by calendar view, list view, catergory or name
- To allow administrative privileges for us to enroll users not on campus into courses or as instructors, block users, unenroll participants,
-Statistics generation
-Automatic or close to automatic email reminders to participants of upcoming courses
