Well,
What you'd have to do is follow the style that VB does with their other PHP files...

Create a PHP file, and put in it:

Code:

<?PHP
  require( "global.php" );
?>

That creates a DB connection to your vB mySQL DB, and now you can do anything you want with it!

However, if this PHP file is outside of your VB directory you must make sure that you put the path to global.php in the require( ) function call or it will fail.
Example:
Your VB directory is here: /home/httpd/www/boards/vb
Your PHP file is located here: /home/httpd/www/boards

Code:

<?PHP
  require( "vb/global.php" );
?>

Ok, now that you have the PHP doc connecting, you can place any code within the <?PHP ?> brackets - just like you are developing in VB!
