You need to include "./includes/bootstrap.inc" and then execute drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL). The Drupal root directory must be your working directory before doing this.
Ok, thanks. Can I put the program in a different directory and chdir() to the Drupal root?
Yes. I created a function for this I called drupalize that checks for the includes/bootstrap.php file else backs up another directory. I then know I'm in the root directory.
