    You’d use the wpdb class to access your database.

    No, I can’t, because it would only be a small part of a much larger plugin. If you need custom coding, you need to hire someone. We recommend jobs.wordpress.net; do not accept any offers from people who post here, and be sure to check out references for anyone you might want to hire.

    no,you do not. You set your wp database info in only ONE place, wp-config.php.

    Read this

    site/db.php
    site/user/db.php
    site/wp-content/plugins/hero/index.php
    These are files required belew code

    private $servername = “localhost”;
    private $username = “xxx”;
    private $password = “xxx”;
    private $dbname=”xxx”;

    I don’t think you understand how WordPress works. If you want to integrate something with WordPress, you’d write a plugin. You do not go around edit PHP files directly.

    You’re asking about how to develop a plugin. See https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/

    Please tell me what you are really trying to accomplish instead of asking about the database.
