I'm new to this product and have found it to be the best out there.  Are there ways to integrate other PHP scripts with it tho?  For example.. if I have a PHP script or a few PHP pages where my users are authenticated etc from a database...can I somehow plug that into this CMS so that my website would be fully functional and I can transition away from my older design?

PHP-script can be put in CMSMS by using a UDT (Extensions -> User Defined Tag), where you NOT wrap it inside

then you can call the UDT where you want...

When I have a script that I don't need to modify that often, I put them in the /plugins directory to save a database call. I only do this when I'm migrating an existing site to CMSms.. When designing a new site from scratch, I prefer to create a proper module.

I second that. I've used both approaches. It really all depends on what you're doing.
