hosting PHP application within moodle LMS

Good day, I would like to know if there is a way to run a php application within the moodle LMS.

Prior to implementation in php, the information was in th开发者_开发知识库e form of static html documents, which were simply uploaded into folder and accessing the files gave the appearance of a site hosted within moodle.

Can such a functionality be replicated using PHP files that require service processing for desired features.

If not what are the best options for giving users a similar experience.

thanks

You can use plugins(Blocks or Module) to develop applications within Moodle. The pre-condition is that you need to follow Moodle programming guidelines to create a plugin.

More details here:

However, you need to decide whether you need a Block or an Activity Module and it can be determined only after seeing the requirements.
