Is there a specific reason you’re trying to do this outside of WordPress the normal way? If there is, you could do include('wp-load.php') to access WordPress functions.
But that would only be if you have to access WordPress externally. Normally your code would either go into your theme’s functions.php file, or you would add your code to a custom plugin.
