Custom script in a WP template

    Hello,

    I want to use a custom PHP script in my WordPress blog which uses the theme "mistylook-101". I want all the functions and variables set by WP to be defined in my custom script so that I can use functions like: get_header()... to apply the current theme to the custom script. What is the easiest way to do this?

    I tried placing the script file in: /wp-content/themes/mistylook-101 and then tried to use the function get_header() and others but of course non would work because non are defined for this "stranger" script!
    I also tried including some of the function files from wp-/includes/ but I got into a loop of "unable to open required file"...

    Any help please?

    Turn the script into a plugin, making plugins for wp is pretty easy and displying the output is easier .... paste the code .... or come @ me on msn ....

    Isn't there any other way to do it without using plugins?
    Because my script has many PHP files that interact with its index file, I want to place my script's index file in the current theme directory so that it can use the current template (this is the problem as non of the WP functions/vars are defined to this file) and at the same time it interacts with the rest of the script files that are placed in another directory.
