如何在Wordpress主题页面上集成SteveMorse.org PHP数据库

Question

I created a PHP engine database using the SteveMorse.org 'One-Step' database system. https://stevemorse.org/create/faq.htm The database works fine on my non-wordpress domain: http://ronaldimiller.com/companyL/index2.html Now I have a Wordpress site and would like to migrate the database.

I created a child theme, created a template for php. The database search form is on a Wordpress page and when run, generates a 'Can't read database' which is a text file (Tab delimited). This indicates to me that the form reads the engine.php file but can't read the database and thus can't display the data output. I'm self-taught and don't know much php but can follow directions. My guess is that all I need is the correct coding on my functions.php file, and/or some other file. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I know an alternative would be to use mySQL but I've never used it and hope I can migrate the database that I created and works. Sorry for the long post. TIA, Ron

Found the solution . . . . easy peasy. Create a Wordpress sub-domain; add the sub-domain folder in Public_html and add the files. Link from Wordpress page to the index.html search form.
