It really depends on how your PHP site is constructed, most notably if
it's nicely templated or not. I was tasked with integrating Django on
a PHP site and for that project it was easier to copy the base
template into a Django template and then pull in a few of the
same .html includes (ad code and what not). We'll only have to mess
with the Django template if the site's core design changes and that
doesn't happen often enough to make it even a minor problem. You could
probably use PHP-CLI to fetch PHP output, but that wasn't necessary on
the project I worked on.

The only tricky part of our integration is sharing the session. We
were using Django for the registration/management/sign on processes
and the PHP site needed to know if the user was signed in and had an
active subscription. A minor bit of trickery, but it was a pretty
seamless transition (the subscribers never noticed).
