My wordpress built in (php) functions are not being read within visual studio code. Anyone know how to fix this?

Question

The built in php wordpress functions are not reading in my VScode and its really bugging me because it is showing yellow/orange swiggly lines.

    <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink();?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
    <?php the_content();?>
    <hr>
<?php }

get_footer();
?>

I figured it out. It turns out I needed to open the PHP files in my root folder in order for the WordPress functions to be acknowledged by VScode.
