How to call WordPress PHP file using external js file

Question

I have added custom PHP file in WordPress directory and added following line to use WordPress functions:

require ('../wp-blog-header.php');

Now I am able to use WordPress functions but unable call this file from javascript in ajax.

When I removed following line then I am able to call this file:

require ('../wp-blog-header.php');

Please suggest how can I solve this issue.

do you mean you put it directly in wp-admin, wp-content or wp-includes? If so, this is not really safe, because your file could be deleted on Wordpress update. It should be either in your template, or maybe outside of wordpress directory if there is one — Kaddath

@Kaddath thank you for advice. But still, I won't be able to access PHP file as I have added wp-blog-header.php file. — Faisal Shaikh

looks like this is standard behavior of WP

change

require ('../wp-blog-header.php');

to this line

require(dirname(__FILE__) . '../../wp-config.php'); //path to Your wp-config.php file

$wp->init();
$wp->parse_request();
$wp->query_posts();
$wp->register_globals();
//$wp->send_headers();
