Moving PHP code from HTML site to wordpress

[bvrussell]

Hi

 

I'm currently in the process of re-developing a website for a client in Wordpress. I've completed the work apart from the fact that on the old site the client has a webpage with an email subscription form for subscribing to a newsletter. The form takes a 'Name' and 'Email Address' and writes these to a MySQL database in the back end.

 

I've tried adding the code to a page in wordpress and have a few plugins which allow PHP code execution on both the sidebar and page but when the button is clicked to submit the subscription nothing appears to happen as on the origonal page.

 

I really need to know whether this type of code could be imported into Wordpress and made to work or how to go about writing a wordpress page that will write to the same database.

 

Any advice on this would be helpful as I'm not a strong php coder.

 

The Code is as follows:

 

There's a contact.php page on the origoanl site that calls inc-mailing-list.php that also referrences a mysqlconnections.php file

 

I've put all the code below for referrence.

 

Origonal Site: contact.php

Code: <?php

session_start();

$string = strtoupper($_SESSION['string']);

$userstring = strtoupper($_POST['userstring']);

session_destroy();

 

?>

<?php include("inc-mailing-list.php"); ?></TD>

var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");

document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));

</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

try {

var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-9716450-1");

pageTracker._trackPageview();

} catch(err) {}</script></body>

 

</html>

 

 

INC-MAILING-LIST.PHP

<?php require_once('Connections/mysqlconnection.php'); ?>

<?php

 

/* In contact.php

session_start();

$string = strtoupper($_SESSION['string']);

$userstring = strtoupper($_POST['userstring']);

session_destroy(); 

*/

  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);
