Question

I have a table in the same database as my wordpress install. What is the correct way of querying it the “wordpress way” ? I know I can use mysqli and that is what I usually do. But I am sure wordpress has it’s own standard and perhaps classes to do this.

thanks

Why not use the wpdb class? There is an example documented on wordpress.org and it goes like this:

$myrows = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT id, name FROM mytable" );
