Hi everyone, I'm new to Drupal.
I'm trying to check if an user is logged in Drupal from a test.php empty file (in the same domain and folder of drupal index.php).

Is possible to do this?
Thankyou in advance.

Have not tried it, just wrote from scratch:

// define static var
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());

// include bootstrap
include_once('./includes/bootstrap.inc');

// initialize stuff
drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);

//laod user
global $user;

if($user->uid >0)
{
    // user logged in
    echo 'Welcome '.$user->name.'!';
}
else
{
    // anonym user
    echo 'Welcome guest!';    
}

Hope it works ;)

Thankyou!
It works fine.
In this way i can use all Drupal function in my external file? And get all drupal propertyes and data?
I think yes...

Well you should be able to access all the globally available functions and variables, because the _drupal_bootstrap_full() in drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL); calls the module_invoke_all() function http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--module.inc/function/module_in....

Thankyou very much.
I have only one problem. When i click on the logout link, i get "Page not found".
Where is the problem?
The link is: http://localhost/mysite/?q=it/logout
Thankyou

I know the short documentation for this existed here at some time, but today, the best short example of using drupal_bootstrap() seems to be at avenuewebmedia

That's true for Drupal 5.x and 6.x but for 7.x you need the first line as well

// define static var
define('DRUPAL_ROOT', getcwd());
