   Something like this should work for you:

   <?php
   	require_once '/home/user/public_html/wp-config.php';
   	require_once '/home/user/public_html/wp-settings.php';
   	get_header();
   	// CUSTOM CONTENT GOES HERE
   	get_sidebar();
   	get_footer();
   ?>

   You will need to replace the /home/user/public_html/ part with the server path to your WordPress installation.

   require_once '/home/user/public_html/wp-config.php';
   require_once '/home/user/public_html/wp-settings.php';

   Unnecessary.

   wp-blog-header.php takes care of both of those.

   Whooami,
   So, this would be a better solution:
   

   <?php
   	require_once '/home/user/public_html/wp-blog-header.php';
   	get_header();
   	# CUSTOM CONTENT GOES HERE
   	get_sidebar();
   	get_footer();
   ?>

   This works:

   require('./wp-blog-header.php');

   wp-blog-header.php takes care of including everything necessary to use WP fucntions outside of WP.

   (adjusting the path, obviously)

   Hello,

   So I had the same question, and I understand your answers.But i have a other question.
   I create a new page, for example page2.php I do all the thinks you say,ok with this.
   But how can I display the page to browser??

   I use permalinks to get post like site-url/month/day/category/post-title or for the pages site-url/page-title. How can display the page2.php which I was create?
   Is there any way to get it like site-url/pages/page2 ??

   Thank you.
