[support] Database connection

[Metzler, David]

Any reason why you don't just create a custom module with a menu hook
that executes a print of the data that you need?  This is the way I code
most of my web service code. 

 

Something like; 

 

function custom_module_menu() {

  $items['custom_module'] = array(

    'access arguments' => 'access content'  // replace this with
appropriate drupal security.

    'page callback' => 'custom_module_ajax_callback',

    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,

  );

  return $items;

}

 

function custom_module_ajax_callback() {

  //execute normal drupal statements here

  print 'replace this with whatever you want the ajax callback to
return';

}

 

You'd also need a .info file, but that would get you started.

I tried this and also included the define statement for the variable
that require_once is using and it errors out including bootstrap.inc.

It needs something else. 

 

thanks for your post, anyone else?

 

 

define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());

 

require_once DRUPAL_ROOT . '/includes/bootstrap.inc';

drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);

Just paste these 2 lines in you external file

require_once './includes/bootstrap.inc';
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);

these are also included in index.php. These are for D6
