# Using a php file as a "page"

 * I currently have a non-wordpress site that I am attempting to convert to wordpress.
   Some pages, like this one:
 * [http://ewh.ieee.org/r1/schenectady/UpcomingEvents.php](http://ewh.ieee.org/r1/schenectady/UpcomingEvents.php)
 * are php files that generate the page (using sqlite and php). Is there a way to
   use this type of file directly in wordpress (as a wordpress “page”)? Or is there
   some more built-in mechanism to store and query databases to create tables of
   data like this?
 * Thanks!
 * David

 * Your post has a number of questions, I’ll try to answer them as best I can!
 * -If you want to use prewritten PHP in a wordpress page, you can install the [Exec-PHP](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exec-php/)
   and basically just copy and paste the PHP and work from there. This will allow
   you to use basically any PHP inside of a page.
    – There does exist some mechanism
   for querying databases, if it’s the same as the database where WordPress is stored,
   using the wpdb class – [http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb).
   I am not experienced with using WordPress to access other databases in any way
   other than straight PHP, but such a function may indeed exist
