code: select all

<?php

define( '_jexec', 1 );
define('jpath_base', dirname(__file__) );
define( 'ds', directory_separator );
require_once ( jpath_base .ds.'includes'.ds.'defines.php' );
require_once ( jpath_base .ds.'includes'.ds.'framework.php' );

require('libraries/joomla/factory.php');

$user =& jfactory::getuser();
