Hi,

I need to get some data from the eZ database using for example:
$node =& eZContentObjectTreeNode::fetch( 2 );

However I am using a php program that is called directly from apache, and not from CLI nor from within Exponential.

My guess is that I need to to some initializing of some sorts, but I don't know what.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

The minimum that I've managed to get away with so far has been:

include_once('lib/ezutils/classes/ezini.php');
include_once('lib/ezutils/classes/ezsys.php');
include_once('lib/ezdb/classes/ezdb.php');
include_once('access.php');
include_once( "lib/ezutils/classes/ezdebugsetting.php" );
include_once( "kernel/classes/ezcontentobjecttreenode.php" );

/*!
  Dummy function, required by some scripts in Exponential.
*/
function eZUpdateDebugSettings( $useDebug = null )
{
}

$ini = eZINI::instance();

// This will get the default siteaccess name, or you can hard code it if you want
// $siteaccess = 'accessname';
$siteaccess = $ini->variable( 'SiteSettings', 'DefaultAccess' );
$access = array( 'name' => $siteaccess, 'type' => EZ_ACCESS_TYPE_DEFAULT );
$access = changeAccess( $access );

$node = eZContentObjectTreeNode::fetch( 2 );
var_dump($node);

You will probably need to change the paths to the includes.
