I need to add my own custom PHP script to all Wordpress pages of my blog.
I am not referring to adding PHP onto a single page (which can be done with a plugin).
Essentially, this is what I need to do:
Can someone show me the best way to do this?
This is what I need to figure out:
Which of the Wordpress php files handles the display of the Wordpress posts (is it post-template.php by any chance?)
How to grab the Post ID using PHP? I found the page which says this could be the possible way, is that correct way of getting the Post ID?
$id = get_the_ID();

It depends on the theme. Very simple themes might use index.php
for all pages, others use single.php
for the display of single posts, and there are a lot more possibiites, also secondary templates (template parts) which are included in the primary templates and contain part of the post. Have a look in the theme folder.
Inside all of these, the posts are always inside "the loop". This page has the explanation and some useful examples: https://codex.wordpress.org/the_loop HTH

for single post, it single.php
and to get post ID
$post = get_post();
$id = $post->ID;
