Is there a simple way to integrate PHP sites to your Wordpress Blog?

Pardon my ignorance with this question as I'm not a php developer, but I'm very curious... I've dabbled in PHP and HTML a bunch, but I'm still a novice lol

Anyway, I have a site that is all PHP and was wondering how I could go about integrating the entire site into another site I have that uses Wordpress. Since wordpress uses php I figured this may be something simple, but that's just me guessing.

What do you think?

    no, it won't be that easy. PHP is programming language and when both sites are written in it, it doesn't mean it is just copy & paste.. Depending on the site type and complexity it might be really lots of work..

      innozemec is right, but I want to add that it's not really complex if you already have a little html/php skill.

      Going from html or php to wordpress is not hard, but one thing never really mentioned is that does not include any theme options at all in the admin area. So many things would still need to be done manually. Integrating option panels into admin is not difficult but you really need to pay attention when following such tutorials, especially data sanitization.

      Here's a good tutorial that will take you from photoshop all the way to working wordpress.

      P.S. It's advised if you want to take your time and transfer your php site to WP, that you do it on a local server. Development work on a live site is never advised. A professional developer will do his/her work locally and "push" or "sync" the changes to the live site. It's a good practice to follow.

    If you are not good at php then you will need a good wordpress developer to keep you php site same and the theme of your site intact but if you want then you can try learning theme developement at tutplus
