How can I run separate PHP code on a domain with WordPress installed?

I mean to say that I have installed WordPress on a domain. Its root directory now contains files like: .htaccess, wp-signup.php, wp-settings.php etc.

The wp-content folder contains other information like the theme, plugins etc.

If I had not installed WordPress, I could upload a file like random-names.php inside the root directory and simply access it inside the browser.

Is there a safe way for me to do the same thing with WordPress installed?

The file random-names.php has nothing to do with WordPress. It just generates random names in vanilla PHP.

I hope that I made the question clear. Let me know if I need to explain anything.

Thanks.

You can still drop the random-names.php file in the root directory of the server, or in your theme directory. It won't harm WordPress in any way since WordPress doesn't know about it.

Yes you can, you only need to use the exact url to the file For example: http://example.com/random-names.php will call the file even if WordPress is in the same folder.
