angelsonearth Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Please kindly note the following question: Is it possible to integrate a Wordpress blog with a PHP and MySQL site (e.g., one running an e-commerce component) such that the following is possible: 1. the Wordpress blog is log-in secured through PHP and MySQL 2. articles to the wordpress blog are sent from the PHP site to Wordpress through an admin interface (kind of like a CMS system) that the user (who doesn't know any programming) would utilize? In short, is it possible to seamlessly integrate communications between Wordpress and PHP/MySQL? If so, how could this be accomplished? Thank you very much for your time.

sonal Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I was also looking at this question. May be there is an answer at this page : http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types I haven't been able to try it myself yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 1. the Wordpress blog is log-in secured through PHP and MySQL I believe so. You'd just need the PHP code to send the same authentication (cookie/session) that WordPress would. 2. articles to the wordpress blog are sent from the PHP site to Wordpress through an admin interface (kind of like a CMS system) that the user (who doesn't know any programming) would utilize? Yes, just have PHP update the same database. In short, is it possible to seamlessly integrate communications between Wordpress and PHP/MySQL? If so, how could this be accomplished? Yes, but it will take excellent knowledge of how WordPress internally works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angelsonearth Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Thank you very much for the very kind, generous, and helpful advice, Sonal and Larry! I know that lynda.com offers a great month-to-month subscription that offers extensive video tutorials on various tools, such as Wordpress, MySQL, and PHP. Do you have any recommendations for where else I might be able to go to get versed on Wordpress's internal structure. (By the way, Larry, I enjoyed your books so much that I'm now enrolling in a Comp Sci degree program with a Web programming specialization--thank you for the inspiration and excellent materials!)

Larry Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I would start with the WordPress docs. They'll be the most current, which is very important. Thanks for the nice words on my books. Good luck with your program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
