Can wordpress do this - true static pages

Hello Warriors,

I am working on a complex little project at the moment and have come to a decision point.

I want to use wordpress for the site, but I want a few of the pages to call a lot of scripts and run all sorts of crazy code in a variety of languages.

This would be easy with static pages - just code them up in PHP / HTML and away I go.

Is there a way to essentially show a complex web page within the confines of where a page would usually display on a wordpress site?

Can page templates do this? I am worried that Wordpress will parse the code and stop it from being run.

Is there a way for true static pages (content not loaded from the database) to be displayed within the Wordpress framework?

Or am I stuck linking to a separate PHP/HTML page from Wordpress for these functions.

Thanks a lot!

    Yes. Any (i think) code that can be compiled w/in a LAMP environment can be executed on a wordpress page template

    Not for sure...but as a workaround, just create a html page based on your theme, add content, then save in appropriate directory
