magento - access cart in external PHP file -

trying access magento cart external php file, have loaded mage , able access products & categories reason i'm unable access cart information.

shop located in www.domain.com/shop/ php file located in www.domain.com/file.php magento cookie setting set '/'

i have looked @ , tried many illustration of how info , none of them have worked, code have @ moment is:

<?php require_once '/home/admin/public_html/shop/appmage.php'; mage::app(); mage::getsingleton('checkout/cart', array('name' => 'frontend')); $cartitemscount = mage::getsingleton('checkout/cart')->getitemscount(); $carttotal = mage::helper('checkout')->formatprice(mage::getsingleton('checkout/cart')->getquote()->getgrandtotal()); echo 'you have '. $cartitemscount . ' item(s) in cart. <a class="cartgo" href="'.mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getcarturl().'">checkout</a>'; if($carttotal > 0){ echo '<span>[&pound;'.$carttotal.']</span>'; } echo '</a>'; ?>

it works fine within magento site not external file reason. returns 0 though there product in cart.

any pointers?

try

// mage init require_once '../../app/mage.php'; umask(0); mage::init('default'); mage::getsingleton('core/session', array('name' => 'frontend')); // client session $session = mage::getsingleton('customer/session'); // cart instance $cart = mage::getsingleton('checkout/cart'); $cart->init(); $cartitemscount = $cart->getitemscount();

see magento 1.8 add together product cart using php
