creating a php page outside wordpress

I want to create a php page outside the blog but I still want to have the blog theme header and side bar in the page. How do I do so?

 

Well i am not a php wizard at all but i would try this

<?php get_header(); ?>
...your code...
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

PHP:

I guess that the filenames may be different depending on your used template.

 

do i put the file in the template folder?

 

just hit ctrl+u(if u use firefox) on your main WP page , copy the source of the header and parts you want to copy and paste them into the external file
they must work! but they will be static in nature if you know what i mean
hope this helps you
gluck!

 

oh man thanks for your help! I got it Rep added
