 * I’m working on a new plugin, but keep running into an issue of not having access
   to the database. I have a second file which also needs access to the database–
   in order for this plugin to work this file needs to be standalone. What files
   do I need to include to get access to the query fuctions?

 * By including the wp-config.php file, you can access the database using WP’s built-
   in query functionality (i.e. $wpdb->get_results(), etc.). Just about all the 
   internal functions, classes and so on should be made available this way.
