Using wordpress functions outside of wordpress

Hi

When I try to use wordpress functions outside of wordpress it always seems to redirect me back to my blog. I have WP 3.5.1 multisite and it redirects. I’m running virtual host on my webserver and when i try to use wordpress functions outside of wordpress

http://blog.mysite.com

http://mysite.com/test.php has the cod below and it always sends me back to http://blog.mysite.com

<?php
    require( '/path_to_my_wp_install/blog/wp-load.php' );

    echo 'new content outside WordPress';

    echo 'some wordpresss functions used here'; 

    ?>
