Execute php script from within wordpress hosted on hostgator -

so have scheduling algorithm written in php consists of around 15 files. want move scheduler personal website built using wordpress , host gator. final goal.

my question, how exicute simple helloworld php script when button pressed

i have wordpress page has button when pressed want run php script, helloworld.php -aledsworld.com/button1

but when pressed goes address - aledsworld.com/button1/helloworld.php gives page not found

i can upload php script server because works - aledsworld.com/helloworld.php though loose css

so question folder need upload helloworld.php too?

your script needs execute php script. can using exec, shell_exec, etc.

if (isset($_post['button_press'])) {     exec('php helloworld.php'); } 

host gator may not allow use exec though...
