Create a Stand-Alone Magento Web Page

Sometimes, it’s nice to just quickly whip out a single page Magento script to test something such as new API you are trying to talk to.  But, if that page is going to use Magento’s functionality, it needs to load up all the XML control files first so Magento knows where to find its classes. 

The following script does just that:

<?php

/*

 * place this in a subdirectory under docroot

 * i.e. docroot/script/testClass.php

 * http://your-test-server/script/testClass.php

 *

 */

$baseDir = dirname(dirname(__FILE__));

include_once $baseDir . "/app/Mage.php";

class testClass {

   public function run() {

      Mage::App();

      $config = Mage::GetConfig();

      $config->init();

      // your test code here 

     

   }

}

$testClass = new testClass;

$testClass->run();

?>
