Adding php apps

[Nog]

Hi, I'm very new to Joomla and have a site we need to build which we plan to try Joomla out on. It needs a small app that calculates costs using a table of fixed amounts. How would I go about creating and integrating such an app? I'm not a php developer but I am interested in hearing either how this is achieved or alternatively if there are any php developers out there working freelance (pref. in the UK) that would like to take this on.

Any advice would be welcome.

There is a plug-in available called "Add PHP" You can find this on the Joomla Extensions website.

From their info:

This Bot/Plugin makes it possible to integrate any PHP Scripts into a content item/ Article. The PHP Script must be below the Joomla root directory. You should switch off the print and pdf representation possibility. How to use: {rdaddphp file=rel_path_to_the_file_with_filename} Example: joomla install directory: /var/www/joomla PHP-Files are in the directory: /var/www/joomla/myphpfiles Name of the file to include my_file.php Then you have to use it like this: {rdaddphp file=myphpfiles/my_file.php} We have versions for Joomla 1 ...

Hope this helps.

(BTW... I have no experience with this extension)

Well.
You can use Jumi for this purpose too. There is a version for Joomla 1.0x and J 1.5. Plugin for inserting scripts into the content and a module for inserting scripts into the module position. 30.000+ downloads, rating 4/5, 40 votes.

There is a thread on Jumi in this forum here> http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,85998.270.html
