[development] $user->uid from popup

[Darrel O'Pry]

If drupal is generating the pop-up content, or you bootstrap drupal in
your script the session will be available.

To do this with a minimal amount of drupal fuss you can use 
drupal_bootstrap in your foo.php.

I think you you add the following to the head of your foo.php you will
be set.
<?
include('common/bootstrap.inc');
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_SESSION);
?>
http://api.drupal.org/api/4.7/function/drupal_bootstrap

cheers,
