   Hello,

   I'd like to add a specific PHP page, hand writted, on my WordPress site.
   I want to do this because it's a specific script which cannot be an article or a page.

   For example, my page would be at http://www.domaine.com/mypersonalscript/

   Of course I'd like to have at least the header/footer of WordPress, since the page is still on the website.

   Does someone know how to do this ?

   A simple custom template that includes your file should work:

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: MyScript
   */
   ?>
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="content">
   
   <?php include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'path_to/myscript.php';?>
   
   </div>
   <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   Bear in mind that 'path_to' needs to be the file path from your document root to your script file - not a url.

   Thank you esmi. I get it.
   But I still have two questions :

   1. where to save this document ? If I save it in my wp-content/themes/mycurrenttheme/something.php and try to access with http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/mycurrenttheme/something.php, it gets an error which says that get_header doesn't exist, which I understand.
   2. how can I tell my WordPress that this page has to be accessed with http://www.mydomain.com/something/ ? How to link this page to the page I just created with a specific url ?

   Thanks !

   where to save this document ?

   wp-content/themes/mycurrenttheme/something.php is correct

   try to access with http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/mycurrenttheme/something.php, it gets an error which says that get_header doesn't exist

   Now you need to create a new page in WordPress. Give it a title and assign the new page template "MyScript" (see the Page Template dropdown). Publish that page and then view it.

   Ok. i've been busy for few days, that's why I come back now.

   Thx for the details esmi, but when I create (or modify) a page, I don't see any page template dropdown.

   Here's the content of something.php in wp-content/themes/mycurrenttheme/something.php

   <?php
   /*
   Template Name: Something
   */
   ?>
   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   <div id="content">
   
   Hello, world !
   
   </div>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
   <?php get_footer(); ?>
