Whats the best/fasted way to do this?

It depends upon how you have written your PHP code, but the fastest way would be to copy and paste the PHP into a node and then set the 'input format' to PHP.

While the above will work, in your case I think the best way would be turn the data into proper nodes by:

  • Creating a new content type with the fields you are using (4-5 text fields and a video or embedded media field by the look of it). Modules: Content Construction Kit (CCK), Embedded Media Field and/or Video.
  • Creating a template to show the node body the way you want (also looks quite straightforward in your case). Modules: Content Templates (Contemplate).
  • Creating a view which replicated your A-Z bar, actually I think there is a view in the Views Bonus Pack that does this straight out of the box - "Bonus: Summary + full view"
  • Import the data from your current tables into Drupal nodes. Module: Import Manager (to pick one example).

If you make them proper nodes then they become searchable, comment-able, accessible and usable by other modules. Lots of good things like that.
