How to access $wpdb class in my PHP program so I can read wp_post table.
Getting msg: Fatal error: Call to a member function get_row() on a non-object in /hermes/web09d/b483/moo.rnewtonnet/wordpress/RN-read.php on line 13.

<?php
/*

include_once('wp-load.php');
include_once('/hermes/web09d/b483/moo.rnewtonnet/wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php');
include_once('wp-blog-header.php');
read from wp-posts table
*/
global $wpdb;
$mylink = $wpdb->get_row("SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = 23, ARRAY_A");
/*

echo "ID: ".$mylink['ID']."

Obviously, I don't understand how to invoke $wpdb class.
