If you put your php file in the eZP root dir, and include autoload.php as 1st thing, it "should" work.

But this is really not the recommended way to do things: eZP is an MVC application, and as such it is preferrable to always use the index.php file as frontend controller.

If you want to execute some php code in an eZP context, from the web, you can:

- create a module and a view, then access it via index.php, or

- create a webservice using ezjscore, ggwebservices or the native soap functionality. Then you can access it from your web app via ajax or webservice calls

Note that when integrating eZP with other web apps, it is often easier to run the other app from within an eZP module/view than the opposite.
