Short answer not easily.
unlike PHP, ofbiz is not a DB based application. there is a layer in
ofbiz that connects to the DB. Ofbiz also does not know of the data you
may have in the mysql db, unless you define Enitieites for it.
access to the Data is done thru a business framework.
If you look at the FTL's it will give you an Idea of what you would have
to implement in the PHP code to connect to ofbiz, but not your data.
Here is one big difference, in PHP you do the DB queries. if you use PHP
you would need to user the services of ofbiz to get and store data.
The next is PHP can not run inside ofbiz, since it uses a different
scripting engine.
