    Is This Possible? If So How?
    Run a PHP SQL query to display a list of names that resides in a MySQL database table.
    Can I run this from inside a Page created inside WP?
    $sql = “SELECT * FROM TABLE 1 LIMIT 0, 30 “;
    $sql = “SELECT track_name, media_name, genre “.
    “FROM TABLE 1 “.
    Thanks!

    Hi,

    No… it’s not recommended (and would result in erratic behavior.. and probably won’t work anyway) adding PHP inside a post or page.

    I would suggest using a child theme.. and then creating a shortcode in your child theme functions.php file.

    Then, use the shortcode in your post or page to display the custom content.
