No, it's a bit more difficult. First you need to create a DB, grant
privileges to one user and write this data to a configuration file.
Upload Drupal and run the install script.

After that you need to install the modules you need by uploading to
modules directory and activating they in an control panel.

What i wanted to say was that the optimal was to forget the tables and
the php script that you already have and made it with Drupal. In Drupal
you can create types of content with the fields you want (with cck
module http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/88 ).

Typo3 it's another powerful CMS (http://typo3.com), but i can't
recommend because i haven't use it.
